My guess is emphasis but why wouldn't I use <STRONG> or <EM>? I think the last two posters didn't understand your real question. ;) I can't come up with a use for <BIG>, but can think of things for <SMALL> (maybe <BIG> was just to be symmetric with <SMALL>?). Things like.... "incidental"... "tangential"..."meta"... that sort of logical meaning is how I think of <SMALL>. Info that's not absolutely vital, but that some people might be interested in. For example, file sizes, date last modified, trademark info, etc. Like how in the early days of the web people used <H6> (oh, the humanity!). -Walter
