Does anyone feel the same, or different? I've got an example of this problem at: http://www.imc.exec.nhs.uk/~chris/msiecssbug01.html I posted a bug report to MS about this a few days ago, and got the response that "none of the table attributes [for CSS] have been implemented yet - width, border, padding, etc". Their solution was to set the bg colour in a table cell, which is OK except it doesn't degrade well to Netscape 3 because Netscape has no way of changing the text colour in a cell. Chris
