Hi Rusty Thanks for the email, I'll have a good look through this stuff - probably in the .pm timeslot. I spent Sunday playing with the templates and trying to develop an include file that encapsulates the navigation, site tools etc. I've had various levels of success with two noticeable side-effects: 1. The dynamic htm menus refuse to co-operate with the "on_load" event in the <body> tag, if I remove this - the menus work, but of course the text sizing won't. 2. The ??????? text in the menus is center aligned again - I suspect because of the "text-align: center" statement in the stylesheet. I'm thinking of placing a "text-align: left" statement within the "sitenav" division specification to see if that might over-ride this effect. That's about as lateral as I've got so far, but I'll keep plugging along today - I'm sure that all these obstacles have been encountered before. I might catch up with you later today. Regards
