Don't use javascript either - it impairs accessibility. I think you should consider getting a better book. ;-) http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_doc/library.php?filter=2&terms=web+design#book8 work-around == hack, don't use them. Do it properly. Javascript has a limited role even in strict HTML4 - it is NOT suitable as a work-around for bad HTML. > I can go along with you re frames, but why do you want to get rid of > the various font tags> It isn't Richard or me getting rid of <font>, it is the W3C. <font> WILL disappear. Don't use it. There are plenty of other tags that are of no use in new code. http://www.codehelp.co.uk/html/css.html HTML is usually done very, very badly. That is no excuse for writing new sites that use deprecated tags or dirty-hack workarounds. All HTML should validate and should aim to be strict HTML4 where possible. http://www.codehelp.co.uk/html/html4.html http://validator.w3.org/ -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
