Ironically, the opposite is the case: because images are cached, while bits of markup aren't, it can be faster over time to have persistent objects as objects like images. "Client side include." With OBJECT you can refer to another HTML file, but so far only IE4 seems to support this, and with some quirks. > 2) Any change to the navigation aids must be made to several different > documents, unless they are embedded, which would would defeat the object. Well then there's server-side include, or just plain old GREP.... If the nav elements are consistent to start with, it's not too onerous. __________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:fahrner@pobox.com
