Do you have a code sample? testing this on netscape 4.7 gave me fits with 'font-family' in the 'pre' tag: it just wouldn't take (everything was always times-roman). so here's what i came up with: <style type="text/css"> <!-- .box { background-color: #ffffcc; /* border: 1pt; */ border-left-width: 12pt; border-style: solid; border-color: #cccc99; margin: 1pt; padding: 9pt; } /* pre { <== that'd be awful nice to keep frum munging the html background-color: #ffffcc; border-color: #cccc99; border-left-width: 5pt; margin: 1pt; padding: 9pt; font-family: courier,monospace,arial,sans-serif; <== no-go! white-space: pre; } */ --> </style> then, wrap your <pre></pre> tags into <div class="box">...</div> tags: <div class="box"><pre>#!perl<br> exit 0;</pre></div> maybe you can decode what i was doing wrong on the 'font-family' thing (or, maybe for code a monospace font isn't that crucial--only when lots-o-spaces are used to visually align clusters of assignments)... HTH :)
