Web pages with font sizes, colors, & styles are simply evil. There are pages I can no longer read with Netscape, because the @#$%^ web designer went out of their way to choose a small font...and that's *real* small on a 1600x1200 display! MSIE let's me go to Tools/Internet Options/Accessibility and say: ignore font colors on page ignore font size on page ...which is simply wonderful. www.hp.com is an excellent example of how *NOT* to design a web page, sadly. Remember, the three most important things to consider when designing a web page are: content, content, and content. Look / feel / wow isn't in the top three! -- Stan Sieler sieler@allegro.com www.allegro.com/sieler/wanted/index.html www.sieler.com
