That's ok with a 10 or even 50 pages, but I maintain A *fast* growing site of now well over 200 pages, with content being changed by a team of people on a daily basis. I simply cannot go through every page changing CLASSes whenever I decide to make links pointing to academic sites a different colour, not can I afford the time to go through every page looking for <INS date="..."> blocks with a date of 1997. Also, they (the other authors) are *bound* to forget to add the correct CLASS attributes in all their new documents! Regexps would simplify these tasks a great deal. -- Ian Hickson -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 Info: www.geekcode.com GIT/M/S d->-- s+: a--- C++(+++)>$ U P L+ !E W+++ N+ o?
