Here's an example with the border and padding... http://www.cookiecrook.com/webx/hanging-indent2.htm I didn't test as many browsers this time, but it still works in Netscape 4.7 on PC. I've have browser discrepancies with padding before so that's why I used margin the first time. I don't have IE 5.0 installed here, but I seem to remember it having issues with padding... Are there any more ideas why this could be considered a hack? If it's the negative value for 'text-indent', Eric Meyer states it's validity in the CSS 2.0 Programmers Reference. I didn't compare it to the spec, but I trust he did. Were there any other reasons why this was considered a hack? Thanks. James Craig
