Thanks much. Worked great. Althought, interestingly enough, now that I
know how to do it, I STILL can't find the answer in either of my HTML
books. That method appears to be so common that everybody knows about it
and mentioning it in a manual is not needed, or it is never used and nobody
cares.

Maybe I should get in on a project where I can work for a while on HTML
from the top down, rather than the bottom up:)

Thanks again
