You've used three nonstandard HTML elements in that little demo: <CENTER>, <FONT>, and <BLINK>. The first two are deprecated and should be replaced with CSS, structural tags (I'd pick <H1> rather than a <FONT size="value">), and AFAIK, <BLINK> was only ever implemented in Netscape and Mozilla. With my default user stylesheet, what you've just presented would be displayed as normal, nonblinking, centered, text. Better: <h1><strong>text</strong><h1> Peace. -- Karsten M.
