Really stupid question

[Ken]

I hope this doesn't come off as too stupid, because I've been working with
tables for a while..BUT..Why is it that when I view some websites ( I've got
an extremely slow dial-up connection ) the site slowly comes in one cell at
a time, to reveal one large picture. Has the site actually been designed
using a large picture that's been cut into these perfectly sized images? I
don't do HTML programming, just bastardize the code that I need changed, so
I can't look at the source code to figure this stuff out. I feel like I've
completely missed a step in the self-education process here..Please, forgive
my stupidity...I think you guys are brilliant

Yes. You will see that occasionally.

Without seeing a specific example, I believe you may be referring to image
splicing.

 

[Ken]

Could you define image splicing please..

splicing.

Big images are sometimes "sliced" into smaller pieces - I think splicing was
a typo on Mike's part....although a sliced image is spliced back together
during download.

Actually the splicing is the putting back together of sliced images (-'
