I have tried "text-top" and "top", but no joy. add line-height: 1em to the .dropcap{} which will line up the top with the top of the letters (excluding ascenders) if you want to move it up some more apply a negative top margin to the span. hth Tony Seasons Greetings all.... -- http://wiki.workalone.co.uk http://www.workalone.co.uk/ads.htm http://www.xebit.net
