Well, if supporting dear old dead Netscape 4 is a requirement, then the original poster is stuck with tables for layout, because that's the only reliable way to get multi-column layouts in browsers that old ... I believe one of the characteristics of the Gecko engine that hindered its adoption is the fact that it does NOT support the old Netscape proprietary things in any mode. -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
