1) Here is the requested jpg: http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/weather.jpg You can see that the text in this example would have fit in one column, let alone three. 2) If you ever want such a jpg, you do not need to beg. Asking politely would have been sufficient. 3) Why the snotty remark about 1984-era layouts? This line of discussion because I tried to help out by taking the old weather.xml layout -- which I had nothing to do with writing -- and convert it to the new standards. If this conversion effort offends you, please explain why. 4) I did not snipe. I did not sneer. I reported the facts as I observed them. If observations conflict with your expectations, what should I do? I just report the facts as I see them, as you can see from the jpg. 5) People on this list have been sniping and spitting on me for months. I have tried not to reciprocate. Some people seem to be able to dish it out but not take it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
