Something I do every know and again illustrates this perfectly:
if I need to understand how a page is built I'll copy the page source
code and paste it into a Dreamweaver page. Using Mozilla most pages have
to be copy / pasted in at least two passes.
32 K is playing with the devil - I wouldn't try over 24. Makes designing
web apps "fun".
