The alertbox a title based listing not a date based one, hence why the title appears first, why you would search specifically for a date is beyond me. Do you really search alertbox in that manner? I just use the search box if I am after specfic content =) The list is arranged in reverse chronology because it makes more sense than an alphabetical listing, and the most current articles appear at the top (great for return visits). I'm sure dates are offered as a courtesy as opposed to a primary navigating device, perhaps so you can decide if the content is current/relevant or not, or so you know whats new since your last visit?. I think a three column table is overkill for a simple listing of articles. kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
