Oh the pics are online alright, I just want to give her a super comfy
way to get to them. I've finally gotten her to the point where she
"gets" (understands) (uh, sort of heh) email. I'm just trying to
spare her having to land that naughty cursor with a shaky hand (a
problem compounded by her eyesight and arthritis). I take your point
about encoding the background graphic, but let's stay on the same page
here: It is the stock "Click Me Anywhere" graphic that would be
emailed (not my GIGANTIC pictures). The graphic that is emailed
doesn't need to be physically large, it just needs to H.O.G. the
entire screen (as dorayme has effectively demonstrated).

When she clicks it, THEN she gets over to the big stuff (resident in a
directory on my home page). Believe me, I would never email these
pictures. I do have some regard for bandwidth believe it or not
lol. ;)
