I'm not sure creating extra properties to avoid re-flows is a good use of time. Reflows are here to stay. While images may be a major culprit, they're not the biggest. Scripting and IFRAME/OBJECTs are. In most of the pages I visit, Google AdSense and the "Shoot the monkey" flash ads are the largest reflow culprits. Also, the proliferation of AJAX will cause a lot more reflows in page display, as different parts of documents will be loaded dynamically after the page has already been drawn. I think this is one issue where the market has spoken: users have begun to expect and deal with reflowing pages, and creating more CSS bloat will not solve it. -- Ryan Cannon Instructional Technology Web Design http://RyanCannon.com
