Thanks. > >Regards, >Dan The problem is with what you think you want. Using a single image will not allow for expansion of the box if someone has the default text size kicked up. This can get you into difficulties if, for instance, the text color of the box is the same color as the background everywhere else, since the text will, with a larger text size, overflow your single image background. You can't (and shouldn't) expect that all computer/screen/default font size/resolution combinations will see what you see. Better for you to bite the bullet and learn proper css technique to allow for as many possible combinations as possible. Which means a "sliding" technique using two images for a fixed width box. -- Ciao for now, bj mailto:b...@bitchslappin.net ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
