I'm sure you saw the remnants of a failed 2x2 table experiment in the CSS. I'd tried the height thing before and, like you did, I got everything but the caption. In thinking of how to reply to you about the buried caption being the result of NS4 not liking mixed line-heights it hit me: Remove the mixed heights from the cell. Doh! A quick and dirty 2x3 table... coltitle - coltitle quote - pic nbsp - caption ...seems to do the trick. I've got to tighten up the white-space, but it works! Yes, I know it's ambitious to attempt an NS4-happy site with CSS. I hoped that by stucturing the thing with table, and just this one nested table in the whole site, I could get by. I'm hoping the client will say it's close enough and give the go-ahead to upgrade the browsers on the Macs. Otherwise, I was thinking of enclosing the headings in divs for the background color. Worst case, depending on the client, is to nest the headings within single-cell tables. Still, I'm trying to use this a a learning exersize for me and a teaching exersize for the client. In the autumn semester I teach a course there in self-publishing on the web. It doesn't seem right to start newbies off on the wrong foot with font tags, bgcolors and all that. Your recommendation on the iMacs is IE5 rather than NS6 due to NS6 being slow? I'd forgotten about that issue entirely and was going to suggest NS6. At least one of the Macs in the office uses IE5.1. I'll nudge them in that direction. Thanks. B "the most incredible feats are often accomplished by those who have had the most incredible challenges" Loading...
