Bruce, Just cos, you say it is a poor idea, doesn't make it so. However, no one is making you use it. If you don't like it so be it. I have to say I think it is rather elegant and there is a neat logic to it. I use CSS that I feel comfortable with and this has evolved over the years as I become more knowledgeable (long way to go yet). But hey, why we getting heated over something that is optional anyway. If it works for you (and it does for me) then why gripe. Have a good weekend. Cheers Ian IY e-Solutions http://www.iyesolutions.co.uk No virus found in this outgoing message.
