Phillipe,

Thank you for the assistance. It worked great (of course!)

Yeah, that was the Tan hack from a-way back. That was also the first  
CSS driven
layout attempt I ever made. Hopefully, I won't have to go back to that
one again. I found stuff in that site that was so bad I couldn't  
believe that
the page worked at all! But it worked until the most recent release of
Safari.

Best Regards,
Dave
