Not quite accurate Nick, if the first line in an xhtml document is < ? xml version="1.0" ? > then msie does render both xhtml and css correctly. [ spaces added to ensure html enabled clients don't render it ] I tested this on my own site, and by adding that one line, I had done all msie custom coding needed for my xhtml & css site to render correctly. Without that, just the xhtml doctype to start, msie does not handle the xhtml & css correctly at all Jaqui Jeff Henager: "If the average user can put a CD in and boot the system and follow the prompts, he can install and use Linux.
