I've been trying to find for some time a good way to adjust the position of elements relative to the text around them - mainly so that we can place equations such that the baseline inside an equation lines up with the baseline of the text outside of it. In looking through the 11/12/96 CSS1 draft, it looks like using a 'vertical-align' in a style attribute to the object or image itself is the best way (since the style is on a per-object rather than a per-document basis). My problem is that I can't verify this, because it looks like 'vertical-align' isn't implemented on any of the test platforms. MSIE doesn't seem to use ANY styles on <IMG> elements, and Arena Beta-3b doesn't use the 'vertical-align' item anywhere (I tried to subscript text with it also). The code I am using (within paragraph text) is: <IMG STYLE="vertical-align: -20%" SRC="equation.gif"> Does this code look reasonable? Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing, or should there be a better way? Also, does anyone know of a test platform where this would work? If not, when do we expect it to be added to Arena? Jim King Product Manager jimk@mathtype.com ================================================================== Design Science, Inc.
