Adding the logo inline gives you the opportunity to add keywords to the ALT attribute, so that does sound like a good idea. Personally, I would have thought that strong emphasis and headings would be quite distinct in meaning. Do search engines treat STRONG as more important than a heading? Note that, on a long document, I often use Opera's "tab through headings" to get the gist of a page. I imagine screen readers have a similar capability. I guess your answer lies with your client's view as to which visitors are most important - search engines or real people. Sadly, few browsers support "display: run-in;" :( Cordially, David -- ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
