I'd prefer a forward-compatible list-rendering format, complying with HTML4.0 and XHTML, looking like this : <ul> <li>this is an item</li> <li>another item</li> <li>a third item</li> </ul> Anybody who has tried to make Netscape4.x understand CSS without properly closing tags will understand my point.. -- Geir Bækholt Hansen web-developer/designer geirh@funcom.com http://www.funcom.com
