There are many discussions of this one around. Here's one: http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2004/03/quick_quiz_h1s_and_logos/ There are lots more :) My take is that I will put the logo in the h1 element when the logo is the most important thing on the page ("most important" isn't quite what I mean, but its as close as I am getting at 6PM :)) This is usually the homepage. So other pages don't get a h1 for the logo, the title of that page gets the h1 instead. I usually end up with markup like this: <div id="mast"> <XX id="logo"><img></XX> <p>Possibly other stuff too</p> </div> Where XX is ether H1 or div depending on the page. This lets me write a set of rules like: #mast { ... } #mast #logo { ... } so all pages are the same, whether the logo has the h1 or not Hope it helps warmly, Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems Brisbane, Australia ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
