Answer 1

When composing a webpage using html, a spacer .gif is a blank space somewhere on the page to make sure that pics don't get displayed too close to each other, or that text isn't displayed too close to pics. It is also possible to protect pics on a website by sort of laying a blank pic on top of the original, so that when somebody tries to download the pic and then opens it from his harddrive, only the blank pic is displayed.
