Though I'm not a frequent poster here -- mostly a lurker -- I did want to expand on this briefly. While I have no issue with the use of color, fully saturated colors cause too much of a distraction away from the content. Less saturated colors would give you "more with less" to rephrase David's comment. (Again, this is just an aesthetic comment. Other's will no doubt have other opinions.) There is also the issue -- though dated -- that red, blue, and purple can also be confused with a user's default link color styling. Again, that last one is a bit dated. This all being said, you do use colors consistently. That is good. Blue for level 1 and level 2 heads, and Red for level 3 run-in heads (though they are not tagged as h3). There is one display issue that I did see. While you did fix the centering with respect to the radio buttons, when printed, the heading is no longer centered. ...Rob ____________________________________ Rob Emenecker @ Hairy Dog Digital www.hairydogdigital.com Please note: Return e-mail messages are only accepted from discussion groups that this e-mail address subscribes to.
