So inline-table is a value for the display property that changes the
behaviour of Opera in that a table with a fixed height and width on it's
td's behaves more like the broken behaviour of IE and enlarges to accomodate
the content- have I summarised what you are saying correctly?

Very clever idea.
Oh, one last thing, you said you used tables because the images would be
vertically centered, is that the default behaviour for tables and image
position inside the td's? I suppose a div would place the image top left
inside the div if there was no positioning css - is that true?
BTW - sort of started a new thread yesterday on this thread - please ignor
it
thanks
