What happens if the user likes a smaller font than the one for which you designed (can save on paper when printing)? What happens if the user has poor eyesight and chooses a larger font? If you are not prepared to accept alternative font metrics, you are using the wrong tool in HTML. You also need to consider backward compatibility (although this might simply be a case of specifying a single box style before the new syntax). -- --------------------------- 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. >
