Why not enter the Unicode fraction characters directly? It's not easy to enter them from they keyboard, so what I usually do is enter them as references (e.g. ¾ or ⅔ as Todd B. suggested) and then copy & paste them from the browser window into my text editor. It makes the source HTML much easier to read. Here's an example. The section called "Encodings" has a 2/3 in it, and there's some other fractions floating around in there too: http://NikitaTheSpider.com/articles/ByTheNumbers/fall2008.html HTH -- Philip http://NikitaTheSpider.com/ Whole-site HTML validation, link checking and more ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
