If the concern is that the number 0 would be excused for the letter O in a block of text, I can see the issue, but I'm certain that English style manuals say that one digit numbers like 0 in sentences should be spelled out. So in a table of data you would have 0 along with other numbers, but in the following sentence: The cat has 0 balls of yarn. You should not use the number, but rather "zero" or "none." And in the following data returned from a database: You have 0 items in your cart. There should have been a check for zero, with the alternate text returned: Your cart is empty. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
