How many of 1-5 above are on topic here on css-d? (possibly #2, none of the rest) 7. How many of you saw my original reply to the OP? (none, as it was sent privately, because virtually none of it was on topic on css-d) I have no problem answering Bill Brown's questions, but it must be somewhere other than css-d in the absence of css-d mod approval to continue on css-d. news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets is a forum where 1-5 would be on topic. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foudation?"
