Because of that, and the fact that the end tag for the p element is optional in HTML, the presence of the div element implicitly closes the p element. If you use the extended interface and select to show the parse tree, you will see this effect more clearly. BTW, have you considered moving the contents of all those style attributes to an external stylesheet in order to better seperate the presentation from the structure and content. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://SpreadFirefox.com/ Igniting the Web
