In version 1.0 any out-of-line construct cannot have borders and padding: regions, floats, footnote bodies, absolutely positioned block containers. A common misconception is that a reader will see "Common Border, Padding and Background Properties" and think borders and padding actually applies (gee, I wonder why??) ... when the chapter and verse I cited in my last note overrides most of these properties, leaving only the background properties that actually apply. You haven't yet said what effect you want to achieve ... you've only asked us to comment on what you are trying to code up. Can you take a step back and describe what effect you would like to see and someone may be able to show you the direction in which you will get what results are available? I hope this helps. ...................... Ken -- Upcoming hands-on courses: XSLT/XPath North America: Aug 12, 2003 - XSL-FO North America: Aug 4, 2003 G.
