Rob, Erik, Ingo,

Thank you for validating my own concerns.  I admit I did not think of using the 
DOM, very good idea.  However, I have been able to help the client see the 
light about using HTML correctly.  Thanks all!

Regards,
Jonathan

When each list item has an id, you can address each individuum. Not just 
the two in question. You must de-construct both lists and arrange them 
absolutely. By defining the same r.p. containing block for both the 
lists, you could offset the list entries relatively with respect to this 
block. 
 
div 
Â*A-B-C-D-E 
Â*1-2-3 
 
div#cb 
Â*A D E 
Â*1 B C 2 3 
 
That's a theoretical answer to a theoretical question. You know, one 
line of html isn't /enough/ 
 
Practically, I would say this is non-sense. Some well known software 
might have been developed with such patches this way to its current 
nearly unfixable layout. 
 
Why should 1 B C 2 3 make sense now? Because A-B-C-D-E did not make much 
sense.Â* Give them an answer they are paying for: 
"No, but I can change the HTML instead without doing any harm to it, but 
for better semantic".
