It's just a word, but it does have presentational associations. Sure, to a machine it doesn't make a difference, and it's not breaking any "technical" standards, but it makes maintenance and generally working with pages highly confusing. Same for classnames such as "left"/"right" or "bigbrownbox". See also: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/goodclassnames Patrick __________________________________________________________ Patrick H.
