Thanks Ken. Seems like linkText is the way to go - it's just awkward to maintain. I was hoping there might be something like a right click that would bring up a dialog to insert the linkText, kinda like you see in a lot of WYSIWIG html editors. I guess I could put that together pretty easily. Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com>
