sometimes you have to realize the current solution may not be the best. if you realize this issue could be dealt w/ by using css then all the string filtering nonsense becomes irrelevant. and yes several people posted nearly identical solutions. i know its futile to complain, sort of like the [SOLVED] thing we discussed a while back. well i just find it annoying when people dont bother to read through the currently posted solutions before posting the exact same thing or nearly identical thing themselves. if i were to post something nearly identical to a previously posted solution, i would preface it with an explanation, here is why, although a similar solution was posted, this subsequent post is relevant.... anyway thats my little rant and now that ive said it; now ill go on ignoring it.. -nathan
