Occasionally you will find that you want to put some empty space into your document to spread things out. Frequently this has been done with <IMG ...> by using "invisible" images which are either entirely transparent, or are the same color as the background. Unfortunately, both of these methods are unreliable. <SPACER ...> is Netscape's answer to this need for including blank space in your document. <SPACER ...> is like an image, except that there is not actually a picture in the space where the image would be.
You must specify the spacer as one of three types:
vertical;
horizontal; and
block, which is both vertical and horizontal. Use the TYPE
attribute to do this.
Here's a few examples of <SPACER ...> using various attributes:
