[themes] how to exclude a View-field when not present?

[sebastian]

Hi Nat,

Your suggestion would work, except that I am not just affecting the img 
tag, but rather putting two divs before and after it, so that i have 
drop shadows that do a "curl" on the left and on the right of the image 
[so that it looks as if it is "pinched" from the page]. There is no way 
this can be done with just targeting the img tag in CSS, one needs to 
use two other div tags to get this to work. But thanks for the 
suggestion! [I had omitted the complexity of what I was doing for the 
question, because I felt it would have made it just confusing...]
