I think also that a fundamental point worth making is that HTML is not, and can not be, WYSIWYG. It's a text markup language, and will be rendered differently by different user agents. For example, most HTML produced in things like frontpage is unusable to text-only or audio-only (screen-reading) clients, as the data gets all scrambled out of order in an attempt to get a "pretty" layout. Write clean, logical markup in a good text editor, and you will get a clean, logical web site. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." --Benjamin Franklin
