I'm willing to bet the style will be in the JavaScript, not vice versa. JavaScript extensions will allow referencing style attributes as variables, just as recent extensions allow IMG attributes as variables. Note that NS now allows external scripts with <SCRIPT SCR="script.js"> </SCRIPT> BTW, giving credit where due, I think NetScape's JavaScript extensions are useful and hope MSIE adopts them ASAP. My pet peeve at the moment, however, is the lack of any way to reference window width or height. Height and width as window and frame properties would be nice. David Perrell
