(And the thing that really astounds me about CSS is that they never thought of putting in constants. Instead of being able to specify a set of colours, and then simply quote them in the CSS whenever they are needed, I have to specify them in PHP, and then encode them into the CSS every time I use them, which is a real pain in the XXXX. The total lack of diagnostics is another real pain.)

Well, your above example would just become: <div class="pfm">

    <img src="Images/Nxxxxx.jpg" width="210" height="300">
    <p class="nrmltextn">Yanni Nxxxxx </p>
    <p class="notetextn">Sally Riordan Scholarship, 2007- </p>

</div>

Ash: You don't need the width="210" height="300". For example, this works: <div class="pfm">

    <img src="Images/Nxxxxx.jpg">
    <p class="nrmltextn">Yanni Nxxxxx </p>
    <p class="notetextn">Sally Riordan Scholarship, 2007- </p>

</div> Also, if you use first-child, it could be taken down to: <div class="pfm">

    <img src="Images/Nxxxxx.jpg">
    <p>Yanni Nxxxxx </p>
    <p>Sally Riordan Scholarship, 2007- </p>

</div> Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
