Those "Print" things are in a <div> and not a table row, so doesn't apply to your situation about deleting "second rows of tables." > and where it doesn't: > >>> Save http://biology.clc.uc.edu/Fankhauser/Cheese/Ginger_Ale_Ag0.htm >>> open w/ SM, file / edit, try to delete the 2nd row in the top table. I did this, and easily deleted the second row of the top table. That's the row that begins with the text: "Ingredients collected". Works for me, you must be doing something wrong is all I can say. My "deletion" also included that obscure ancient JavaScript about "Y2K" date errors. <lol> Heh, your example page has code even older than Composer! It has notes that it was generated both with "Corel Wordperfect 8" and "Netscape 4.5". -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
