Paul, thank you very much! Very neat! Had a deja vu moment when I saw the title, I might had stumbled on that article before. If I were to find the article in 2009 it probably wasn't worth the consideration due to IE6 usage at that time, but it's prime time to start using this technique

Yes. Thank you Felix! best viewed works much better. And then throw in the fact that IE 6 was first release around 2001 and ask them if they even care if they can see a site in a best viewed fashion. I am thinking they are not. ;-) j/k. All's good. -Original Message- From:
