thanks, it looks like a nice css exercise, but with IE support being non-existant, and IE usage being everything but non-existant I think I prefer using the image tricks with javascript. As for the drop down boxes, I know that tricks exist for those, but I am afraid that those might not be available with the limits I set earlier on. > > I hope this helps > > Jamie. > > > > On 14/09/2007, Mohamed Jama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> As I recall those are controlled by the operating system so if you using >> MAC they will look nice shiny blue etc, hope that helped >> >> M.
