The only situation I can think of where this would become a problem would be situations where you have a graphical background, then you might have some problems with this approach. But, otherwise, it should work well for solid background situations. <div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Stuart</div><div><br><div><div>On 10 Nov 2007, at 00:04 , K.J.
