I agree with Aaron!
If you just put this <img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0"
/>
in place of the null fields it'll solve your problem. An image with height
or width of 1 won't show
any errors on the page if the image isn't where you specify so this way ends
up being pretty portable.
For a small hack it works for me.
