I would be interested in seeing your pure css solution for inserting a carriage return in the middle of a paragraph (or similar block element which is semantically a single unit, but nevertheless needs a newline) without adding other extraneous markup? I'm not saying that <br> isn't abused, but I think that there is a place for it. this might be one of those grey areas where the border between content and presentation becomes blurred. -- Richard Grevers, New Plymouth, New Zealand Hat 1: Development Engineer, Webfarm Ltd.
