Message:

spacer.gif height fixed to 1 to avoid an ugly navigation bar background twice the height of the text in it when there was only 1 or two items in the nav-bar. This was caused by scaling spacer.gif to the required width without contraining its height which also grew proportionally.

+# the spacer image - the width of this is calculated and set from server.
+#
+# Its height is now explicity set to 1 to avoid width x height "scaling
+# problem".  Given that spacer.gif's natural dimensions are 40x4 pixels,
+# left uncontrolled, when the image is stretched through _widthtspace_ to
+# a width of say 400 (as happens when there are only two items in the
+# navigation bar) then its height becomes 40 pixels, making the navbar
+# twice as high as the text in it, and quite ugly looking
