If using tables for layout is evil, then surely so is the above, which is CSS! You can do just as much evil with CSS as with <table>, and -- see my other message for a discussion as to why generic tags like <div> are less useful than double-use tags like <table>. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201
