It seems there's a couple of link styles. I think that hover should be active, but to me the hover currently seems like the item is un-selected because it goes to a color closer to the background. Using underline seems to be a bit more lively. If everyone is +0 then it's not worth the effort, but I think the site could use a little more spice. >> - I added an "input" style to keep the input boxes from being so big in NS4.0. >> See any problem with using that?

Are you saying you want it to look the same every place and not change? Ok, I can see that, but I don't think it should give two choices where there's only one choice possible. >I've an alternative solution.

The problem was that Netscape 4 made the input field so huge, but maybe that's fixed with the style sheet addition. If I understand correctly, you don't really like the side-bar search because it uses too much space? I'd agree there. I think we could make the search a small input box and a graphic button. -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
