I wasn't condemning anyone-- I was merely answering the question. In fact, given the extreme amounts of change which the CSS2 specification has undergone, waiting on implementation is probably the wisest course of action for all concerned. Plus, as everyone no doubt saw, Chris Wilson pointed out that MSIE 4 does support page-breaking... so my answer was wrong. Sorry, Chris. -- Eric A.
