However, this is not suitable for all work environments (such as mine *sigh*) where your test area may be located in a sub-folder from a common network url. In this case, you'll either have to bite the bullet or utilize php to code your page links for you. Also, remember that all urls are relative to where the css document lives NOT the html/php document! Thus if www.whatever.com/index and www.whatever.com/subfolder/subfolder2/page both point to the same css document the urls work for both! -- Thanks, Jim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
