I agree, but as shown above, people have different ways of doing things. In magazines and other print materials, there is not a way to allow for user choice. There is on the web. Just like you should design each page of a magazine the same size, you also should dictate window size requirements on the web. Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211
