If you don't want a user to have both languages in front of him, and want to maintain your website in a different file structure then the site (can make a lot of sense), you should use authoring software that allows you to define several HTML documents in one file and then the software processes them to separate files according to the author's marking. Softawre like that could be SGML/XML based, so you might be using custom tags to mark different pages in one file. But I can't see why you'd like to serve this file on the web (think of all the waisted download time of the non-scorlable portion) Nir. =================================== Nir Dagan Assistant Professor of Economics Brown University Providence, RI USA http://www.nirdagan.com mailto:nir@nirdagan.com tel:+1-401-863-2145
