Excellent! That's what I was hoping to hear. I'm now using IE 6.0 and someone already checked it in NS 6.2. So all of those should cover 99% of the waterfront. I'll get my Opera guy, (Dan, you there? *g*), to check it now.

Hmmm. I didn't think there *was* a space there. I'm not on that machine right now so I'll have to check that shortly.

I believe you are correct about the background image in a table cell not being allowed in HTML 3.2 compatible browsers.

And that's what I'm going to do also. Looks like I need to get ahold of some of the older browsers again for testing.

Hmmm. I thought it was. I'll have to check that when I get downstairs.

Thanks again.
