Thing of it is, however, this also makes logical sense and could also be a fair solution. Not only that, but I also agree that it'd make things more interesting. The only problem(s) I forsee is using a colon (:) inside a CSS property's values, such as "background-z-layer: e:1 w:1;" That would make implementation a bit of a trick. I'd suggest something along the lines of "background-z-layer: (e=1, w=1);" Just a thought. Thanks, W. Leon Sutton, Jr. Hyponiq's Web Development Solutions - www.hyponiqs.com
