Thanks for the responses. I have to specify widths because the table is a fixed size, and is centered.

I do have another question though. Aren't images supposed to be downloaded just once?. Like, I was looking at my bandwidth the other day I went over 400MB's of bandwidth while testing. Seems rather high. I would think the images would download, and be in my cache, but it seems like its all getting re-downloaded everytime.

You do have border set to "0" in your code above, but anyway, good you fixed it somehow.

400, MB, 400MB's, were you testing for 24 straight hours or do you have a great amount of graphics ?

Check your Browser settings, and bandwidth report to be sure.

Other than that, regarding big images, if you have alot of images and /or products with images that are all stored in the database, they are called up on every page request, this means that every time you call a page that has an item with images stored on the database it calls it up again.

If you use images on file system, on the other hand, they can be cached with no problem, cause most browsers support it, since they where originally called from a specific LOCATION on a URL, and not from a Database QUERY.
