Good. Not only do I use the Whitesmith style for PHP, but I use it for Javascript, CSS, and everything that has braces (excepting grandchildren). In addition, I also teach college level programming where I present my view on style. While I may not influence established programmers (good habits or no), young minds are open to suggestion. :-) Cheers, tedd _____________________ tedd@sperling.com http://sperling.com
