> No, why would it be? On other directories where there is no default page such as: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://services.google.com/inquiry/" target="_blank">http://services.google.com/inquiry/</a> it simply says not authorized (returns an http error forbidden). The intentionally left blank phrase is often found on printed matter and having it on print.google.com seems like a cutesy joke in a vein similar to say PigeonRank.

Normally that would be true... But I believe, in this case, pushing elements around with transparent spacer gif's is the "trick", while CSS margins and padding is the accepted standard. And just as you are happy not to be "in brucie's league", I am quite sure that brucie is just as happy not "living in the past". Cheers.

If you actually look at the page in question, which is <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://print.google.com/print" target="_blank">http://print.google.com/print</a> and 'view source' there is no tranparent gif used. The wording is just <center> -ed on the page Steve :~)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: This space intentionally left blank.
