If it's HTML 2.0 I assume it's got numerous font tags mixed in with the multiple nested tables. I guess you and you're friend only create web sites as a once of service and don't maintain them for your clients because maintaining "tag soup" is not fun and that is the biggest advantage of CSS and tableless layouts. Sure when you first start out creating tableless layouts they take a while, but it gets easier and faster the more you do it - probably like when you first learn how to design layouts using tables. -- Ben Wong e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://blog.onehero.net ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
