Luis, I thought I just replied to this, but I think it really did get lost in Google space. Nice work (again) if the post shows up twice.
I think I was attacking the gradient issue in the same way you described above, and back in the day I was able get some some reasonable results. You can take a look here if you're interested. If the file is too old and generates errors I can update it if necessary. http://designreform.net/forum/index.php/topic,709.0.html taz On Oct 31, 6:00 am, fraguada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David, > > Thank you.
