That's as may be, as things stand, but it is nonsensical to adopt such an approach because: 1. it reduces flexibility 2. vertical borders clearly _must_ be and are allowed on inline elements, and since they only differ (aside from other, irrelevant differences) in that one is coloured and the other is not, if you allow borders, you must allow margins. ===== ---------------------------------------------------------- >From Matthew Brealey (http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet (for law)or http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet/WEBFRAME.HTM (for CSS)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
