Thanks Cheryl. I will take at look at pinespc. Perhaps it is time for me to leave tables behind.
How limiting do you find IE support of CSS-P? I've read the articles -- which just gave ammunition to my avoidance of CSS-P--that explain how to work around the limitation of IE 5 and 6. Do you find this to be a problem? Or have you just developed a procedure that allows you to live with the situation. I understand the biggest issue is with specifying *width*. Are there other potholes to avoid? Or in practice is the IE5/6 noncompliance not so much of an issue? Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl D.
