I have done [DJW:] The more common way of doing this is to use alt text on a 1 pixel transparent GIF. The disadvantage with hiding with colour is that some people will override the colours (I had to do this recently because of a page with particularly poor colour contrasts <http://www2.btwebworld.com/netgeneration/surft/html/faqs.html>, and left it off for a while afterwards). For more complex cases, you could consider using a tranparent GIF with <object>, but check this falls back properly on object aware browsers with images off. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
