Hi Patrick That is exactly what I was thinking of. Do you know what the support is for this statement?
I was thinking of using it to keep a legal disclaimer from being split between two pages. I've just had other things to deal with before working with it more. Does this answer the original question about cropping? Ted > Drake, Ted C. > I saw an interesting snippet, I think it was on the W3C site.
