The question is: What is the end result of this?
If you run the stats, you’ll find you wasted bandwidth, you wasted valuable (vertical) space on the screen, and you lowered CTR to more vital items on the page that deserve more attention. Also now you made for yourself a real problem with “if IE”–now you have something that breaks when MS fixes their browser.
That said, I agree it’s better to use code in place of bitmaps, depending on the application.
