Huge volumes have been written about these issues. Different browsers display web pages in different ways. Some have proprietary HTML tags to do things. NONE have full CSS sopport. Almost all browsers will optionally not display images if the user chooses this. Some browsers are text speech readers. All developers, however, agree you will not get optimum web pages from a word processor. It is a hobby web tool only... period! You can: - Program your pages to the latest standards (and 90%+ of browsers will break back to quirks mode, but your code is good) - Program for the lowest common denominator (and rely on the content of your web page to sell it) - Use PDF's (which are almost always viewed exactly the same, slow but effective) - Use CSS with tricks (to standardise the look on as many browsers as possible) - Program for IE6 and to hell with the rest (and hope that is enough to please 80% of the people 80% of the time) - Learn a lot more and choose a happy medium somewhere between all of the above. Having said that as long as you are not getting too serious i would say Nvu that you mentioned is more what you want. Nvu is better, but not by an order of magnitude. If it is getting more serious and you hope to get more work of this type then learn how to program using CSS at least. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
