This is the way I use it. I think option 1) would be very inefficient - documents just aren't structured like that. warmly, Lea -- ****************************************************** Or you could refer to the specs (mostly to restate the issue not resolve it): "A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces. Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically." And just to interject an element of contention there is this as well: "Numbered sections and references HTML does not itself cause section numbers to be generated from headings. This facility may be offered by user agents, however. Soon, style sheet languages such as CSS will allow authors to control the generation of section numbers (handy for forward references in printed documents, as in "See section 7.2"). Some people consider skipping heading levels to be bad practice. They accept H1 H2 H1 while they do not accept H1 H3 H1 since the heading level H2 is skipped." The discussion centers around whether or not each page should have an h1, can there be more than one h1 per page, and should skipping be tolerated? It's a fun Gordian knot. drew ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
