You should ask Netscape for the answer. HTML does not allow the setting of colors via HEX numbers like this. >3) Forms, They would like to have a form or 2, I have ordered up some >100+ pages of HTML via email about writing html, and there isn't much >except you have to configure the server somehow.

I dunno how much 1000 rubles is, but don't worry about it. Your job must be very interesting. I don't suppose there are openings for Web masters/programmers with World vision in Russia. =) Paul Prescod ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul Prescod (papresco@calum.uwaterloo.ca)
