Abstract
Web page banners are constructed in parts using HTML tables rather than as a single graphical image to allow web page designers to reuse the banner for different window widths without requiring a separate banner for each width. The background image is defined in an HTML table. Each graphical image that in the prior art would normally be embedded within the single GIF image is separately overlaid, with a transparent background to allow the table background to remain visible, in a separate fixed-width cell of the table. Empty space regions are defined as transparent variable-width cells and appropriately positioned in the table. The user's browser automatically resizes the variable-width cells to adjust the width of the table to cover the width of the window that displays the web page.
