I thought it might be interesting to do the columns with <div> inline and then populate them with the query results. It worked marvellously for the navigation layout and I was able to add background and color to the product page, regardless which product page we're showing. Quite neat, really, and very simple. Anyway, I'm going to try. I must be nuts or something like glutton for punishment, but when you get it working, it's quite a satisfaction. :-) Thanks again. -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
