Walter,

	Why does the link approach not do what you want?  What would you change if
you could about using an anchor tag?  Perhaps there is another way around
your problem.

|This in not a FORM.
|
|I am not using FOrm Objects in this context.
|
|All I'm trying to do is make a dynamiclly generated TAB-like nav bar.
|
| - I create a single row table
| - Place a 12 x 6 pixel image (it looks ike a corner cut out of a
|   rectangle
| - Text is placed in the same cell as image (one cell per img/text)
| - Then I fill the background with a color.
|   Since the image is mostly transparent it look slike the corner cut
|   out of the tab with text on top of the color.
|   The STYLES have a padding-right of 4 pixles, this makes TAB look
|   proper proportions regardless of the length of Text in the Cell.
|
|Out TAB nav row changes from time to time and I really didn't want
|to create
|images for all Titles.
|
|The only way I could get this to work was to make the text LINKS. It works,
|but not really like I would like.
|
|But, beggers can't be choosers.
|
|Thanks for your advise.
|
