Yeah, i know that the :after property doesn't work on all browsers, that's why i've always used an image. JU> As regards the question what does a screen reader do? I'm afraid I've no idea. JU> I think this is best served with the image. One image in the CSS as JU> opposed to multiple character codes in the HTML. Yup, but a wanted to stray away from the tradional path ;-) What i was worried about is the way how screen readers would interprete it. Apart from the extraneous code, it would come in handy as font sizing let's those tiny images (in my case it's a bread crumb trail) be tiny on bigger font sizes.... -- Regards, Luc _________________________ http://www.dzinelabs.com Using the best e-mail client: The Bat! version 4.2.6 with Windows XP (build 2600), version 5.1 Service Pack 3 and using the best browser: Opera. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
