Re: [Spridgets] Ebay MKIV

["Ed's Shop" <shop@justbrits.com>]

<<They seem to have a pre-defined space for 4 pics and they will scale them
down to fit that space.  And as Tim says, in this case, they are still
individual pics.  That is why I asked.>>

Not only IS Tim CORRECT in that they are NOT 'stitched' the pics are
NOT on CS<G>!!  Smart gent just knows some HTML coding.  Anybody can
do it by adding html code to the description 'comments'<G>!!

Here IS how he did it (and it does NOT use CS's bandwidth but DOES use
his up a LOT every time somebody looks at the page!!):
[begin code]
<b>Please only serious buyers!</b><br>
I will not let teenagers or people without the funds test drive it, so
please don't waste my time.<br>
<br><br>

{snipped OUT a bunch of pics]
<img src="http://www.mercurephoto.com/images/car/back_7712.jpg";>
[interrupt code]

Note that the pics ARE located at 'www.mercurephoto.com' and NOT CS.
"IF" that site finds out WHY their bandwidth has SKYROCKETED they
will either dump his pics or be CHARGING him for it<VBG>!!!  Had it
happen ONCE when some A**hole "hot link" (that's what the practice is
known as) one of my "Joke pics" and my site went down in a tad over an hour
and the Co. wanted to charge me some unreal amount !!!

See how the pics code is just part of the verbage??  Clever!!

[re-start code]
                <table summary="craigslist hosted images">
                        <tr>
                        <td align="center"></td><td align="center"></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                        <td align="center"></td><td align="center"></td>
                        </tr>
                </table>
[end code]

That section IS where everybody would 'normally' put their pics.
Note that ARE exactly FOUR <td align="center"></td>.  The pic
would be placed between the > & </td>.  It is also why the pics get
'displayed' 2 per line with other 2 below.  The <tr></tr> does that.
If they were left out, all 4 pics would be in a single row.

[end html lesson]<G>
