If the contents of similar blocks are the same heights, the blocks would have the same heights. But, if the contents have different heights (the problem several developers have mentioned), then their heights would not match. What seems to be requested is that developers / designers want some way to make heights / widths match, even when they are not within the same block and do not have identical content sizes. -- James Elmore 22162 Windward Way Lake Forest, CA 92630 Home (949) 830-9534 Email James.Elmore@cox.net
