Would I be mistaken if I say that the aim of CSS is not the ultimate seperation of style and structure (While I wish for it.). This simply is not possible when the element order in the structure is vital for the layout on an html page. However, it should be fairly easy for an editor and author to assume, in a later time, that a certain chapter should appear before anything else in the book, and that modification is done fairly easily, if that portion is marked up well in a separate chapter (and for html, in an element with an ID) Yes, we have xsl and everybody should learn it? -- Emrah BASKAYA www.hesido.com
