Regular expressions are evil when used like this. Consider the following valid HTML: <a href="math_operators.php" title="The > Operator">The > Operator</a> The HTML is perfectly valid, but the regex will break because it "see's" the end of the tag prematurely from the > inside the title attribute value. However, if the HTML is going to be a very small subset in which you will always know this sort of thing won't happen, then you could use the regex. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
