I'm not sure exactly how the \\1, \\2, etc. works. So, does: Yes, for those browsers that understand the span tag. A quick test script in PHP would have been faster than asking... :-) >$text = eregi_replace("(a)(b)(c)", "\\1", $text); > >Does this output only the 'a'? I find this confusing for some reason, >hehe. Any help would be great! Yes. If you had \\2 and \\3 somewhere, they'd be 'b' and 'c' respectively. Again a quick test script in PHP would have been faster... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
