I just took a look at what he was trying to achieve according to his example and decided the span tag might be the best thing to use... or at least that's what I would do :-) In mentioning the centering I was listing the pros and cons, that's all. > > Floated elements _behave_ as block boxes regardless of element type. > Although maybe that's your point?

You don't necessarily have to replace the FONT tag, you could simply wrap what you want bordered with a span tag and /not/ float it. :-) AC -- Audra Coldiron Rock-n-Roll Design & Hosting http://rock-n-roll-design.com KarmaCMS ( http://karmawizard.com ) - the ultimate CSS styled CMS.
