Is it possible to control the line thickness of an overline? _____________________________ Regards, Rick On-The-Web-Now!

If I try adding borders (i.e. top border) it gets complicated because the h1 tag spans the entire row - I've tried playing with "dsiplay:inline;" to control the H tag but it's all messy! There must be an easy way of adding a thin border line above some H-tag text and controlling its appearance? _____________________________ Regards, Rick On-The-Web-Now! (in reply to d a v e)

If you put the span around the items you want overlined then apply the border:top etc. to the <span> it should achieve what you want. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

Not sure if this will work but it's a good idea to do it anyway in all stylesheets so you know you're starting with 0. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
