Styles can be applied to any element in HTML, XHTML and XML documents using an external stylesheet. If a selector matches any element in the DOM, the styles will be applied, regardless of whether the element allows the use of a style attribute. You should also be aware that CSS is an entirely seperate language from HTML, and that such a question is not appropriate for the HTML list. I suggest you try asking further questions an a CSS help forum, newsgroup or mailing list. > trying to get embedded objects using the <object> element to render > correctly in Gecko-based browsers, but due to parent block-level width > and height inheritence... I suggest you try css-discuss or comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets on USENET to find out why this is happening. It helps if you provide a URL for the document so that others may see what is happening, and offer a better solution. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://SpreadFirefox.com/ Igniting the Web
