If you want to use HTML you need to understand the difference between specific browser behaviour and what is actually specified; most people don't. HTML is intended to adapt to the needs of different users and the limitations of different browser technologies, without the need to generate different pages for each combination. If you want tight presentational control, HTML is the wrong tool. Tools with tight control predate HTML. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
