If you want to change the color, you've got to change the class name and probably the css too. So you'll agree that the name for the class is badly chosen. It is from the semantic point of view a bad idea to use names of colors as class names. Sometimes it might seem or even be more flexible to use classes that just add floats, clear or similar and which can be mixed with other classes that give styling to the content. And yes, I do that too, but I always feel guilty ;-) regards Martin ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
