The lang attibute will probably be useful - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/dirlang.html eg <html lang="en"> ... <div>the english bits</div> <div lang="de">the german bits</div> ... ie define the default language from the page then define the alternate language for one section of the page. Bit difficult when your users are split 50-50, but you pretty much need to pick a core language for the page :( HIH Lea ~ done from memory - german is "de", right? -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - http://elysiansystems.com/ Brisbane, Australia ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
