Vertical-align, letter-spacing, borders, padding, and proper vertical margins are also missed, and horizontal margins on floated objects don't work right. But for the most part you've gotten the horizontal margins right in 3.01, thank you. You currently treat each line of text as a separate box when a background is applied to a block element such as P, so the effect is 'highlighted text'. As I read the spec, the entire paragraph should be treated as one element and boxed accordingly. Will MSIE change to match the spec? (Seems to me highlighted text should be done with SPAN or EM.) Any time frame for full implementation? David Perrell
