What you're referring to is a Netscape extension, but it's also part of the currently-being-developed HTML 3.0 spec, so it won't be Netscape-centric forever.. The proper way to deal with this, I believe, is using a <br clear=left> tag (or clear=right or clear=all). -alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Stewart - riche@crl.com - Richelieu @ Diversity University MOO http://www.crl.com/~riche "For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky."
