Do you mean that normally all the information is available from the document tree itself (normal attributes values and the SMIL elements)? If so, then the override stylesheet is a feature that allows script to make changes to CSS properties but not any changes to the actual document. -- Cameron McCormack | Web: http://mcc.id.au/ | ICQ: 26955922
