I looked at the Magellan demo and it uses absolute CSS positioning. So if you try to adjust font size you get alphabet soup. The only element inside the body tag they use is the SPAN element. So if you turn off style sheets everything is a single paragraph. Not a great accessibility tool. Jon At 02:54 PM 3/11/99 -0500, Leonard R.
