That's a nifty trick, but beware: you strayed into "works on both browsers" territory with the way you wrote that ;-) Of course, cell colors aren't in HTML3.0 (which is hypothetical now anyway), so you must mean browser version v3.0.. I guess I'm stuck, using Voyager v2.88ß :-) (which handles cell colors quite nicely, fortunately ;-) Just a gentle reminder that for greater accessibility, authors should remember that there's more than two graphical browsers out there. :-) Dave. -- David Marsh, drmarsh@bigfoot.com | http://squelch.home.ml.org/ | Glasgow/Glaschu, Scotland. *If urgent, phone: +44 141 636-6084.* // >CYCLEWAY: cycle activism UK/IE: http://squelch.home.ml.org/cycleway/< \X/ [Actively seeking work: see http://squelch.home.ml.org/tgfx/cv.html]
