Removing cron code from footer?

[sross]

No matter what I try with my style my footer goes funny when the code for the cron is in there. It's as if a cell expands then when you refresh it goes back to normal. I've tried everything to stop this from happenening and the only solution was to remove this code. So what does this mean not having the code in there? Everything has been running fine, so what exactly do I need it for? thanks!

This means that none of your scheduled tasks will run. Stats won't get updated, emails won't be sent, etc.

yikes, well does it have to be in the footer? And if so any idea how I can keep it from screwing up the bottom footer menu? I practically placed the code bit every possible place in the footer. Maybe i need to make a table and put it inside it, not sure, thanks

all it does is call clear.gif which is a 1x1 transpaent gif, it shouldnt effect anything.
