This seems unfortunate as it was a very Thankfully yes. The last thing we need is another needless hack element to go along with BLINK, SPACER, et al. > If I am wrong and there are ways to dynamically manage layered images > in the HTML v4 draft please tell me what I am not seeing. Thanks, Presentation does not belong in HTML. It belongs in styles - and I note you sent this to www-style so you must realize that. CSS Positioning allows for the layering, positioning, and dynamic content of LAYER. And it does so in a standard manner. As a bonus NS 4.0 and MSIE 4.0 both support it. With more browsers and authoring tools coming. NS is the lone supporter of LAYER and is likely to remain as such. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
