Not available in CSS1, so not compatible with older versions of browsers (opposite to what you say). Btw; another example of non-compatibility: background-color Try using that in eg older versions of IE. It's just ignored. Eg. IE3 uses bgcolor io background-color. The browsers have been made backwards-compatible (mostly anyway), and not forwards-compatible (like you say). Pages made for the older browsers still work (usualy... not always) on the newer browsers. But pages made for newer browsers hardly ever work fine on older browsers. </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
