To all: Considering that Paul Novitski pointed out the errors of my ways privately, I would like to apologize. My reply was not defending myself but rather the technique. The technique does provide variables in css, and that was my point. But, it does so for server-side and not for client-side applications as the OP wanted. So, Paul et al was right. Apologies to all. I should not have posted as I did. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
