Forgive me. But, I don't understand. Can someone help me? I would think that if not "font.size.big" then it would AT LEAST be "font.big.size". I mean, the most general seems to be plain "font", followed either by size or big. Why the other way around? I seem to understand you, by using this notation, to mean that if "[.]font[.]" were anywhere within the classification, then the current class should have its attributes cascaded from "font". I do NOT find it intuitive to say that. If you say "big.font.size", _I_ would expect the set of "big.img", "big.font", "big.whatever" to inherit from "big". (Which I don't REALLY think makes a lot of sense.) (Or maybe, _I_ don't make sense. Am I just confused?) --James Baker / http://www.mtsu.edu/~applemac MTCSC Home / http://www.mtsu.edu/~mtcsc
