I did this once in the case of a page that had a description of a painting in it, I gave that description an ID and made that the longdesc. I was quite chuffed with the economy of this, but I think I would prefer to have the extra GET in cases where the description doesn't "naturally" appear in the first page anyway. -- Regards, Jon Hanna "All good quotes are eventually attributed to Benjamin Franklin" - Benjamin Franklin
