If you are using SPAN as block elements then you should be using DIVs rather. I agree they can seem to overlap but they should not be confused or used for the same thing.

        I know a guy that did something similar to this. He caught a mouse in a trap and tried to shoot it through a paintball gun. Apparently the mouse didn't want to go into the firing chamber so the loading mechanism cut the mouse in half leaving half of the mouse in the ammo dispenser, half of the mouse flying, and blood and guts everywhere. Kindof cruel, but I thought it was funny when I heard about it. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

But like you I have had friends who would not hesitate to try a hamster in a potato gun or a mouse in a paintball gun. Not my thing really, stick to fiction I shall. Actually one friend shot a pigeon in the head with his .22 once. I got so pissed off I shot him in the thigh. Pellet went in a few centimetres, nothing serious but he made sure never to shoot anything defenseless around me again.

                                      How might I be exposed to cyanide? Smoking cigarettes and breathing smoke-filled air during fires are major sources of cyanide exposure. Great! Whenever I'm out at the pub, they're trying to execute me! :suss: -- It's not unusual to be picked up by a klingon woman It's not unusual to have fun with a klingon When I see you kicking me around It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die

                                        Not sure if this is the best way, but I just used a ruler. My vacuum is 14 x 16 x 9 inches. Do you need to know anything else about it? ;P Chris Meech "what makes CP different is the people and sense of community, things people will only discover if they join up and join in."
