This is purely personal preference, but I have never liked the Macromedia interfaces. They just don't seem like they are well thought out. Or maybe I am just bitter that Macromedia cancelled xRez and SoundEdit. I have grown up with Adobe software and it just seems like it is the right way to do things. Maybe I will have another look at the MX series. I certainly like the idea of being able to generate 100% Pure CSS code. (Yes, I know I should be writing my code in BBEdit or VI or EMACs. But you want to know something? I prefer to spend my time designing, rather then typing!) :-) Regards Matthew Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Matthew Healey WAMUG President http://www.wamug.asn.au
