Stylesheets are wonderful, yes, but have you *SEEN* how Netscape mangles them? My solution (which is icky and will soon be changed) is to use JavaScript to make Netscape load a 'corrective' stylesheet and other browsers load the 'normal' one. (In other words, non-JavaScript browsers don't get it. But my site counter says I've only had one nonJavaScript, and I think that was me.) <http://developer.netscape.com/support/bugs/known/css.html> >>BKNambo <MOZILLA is good!
