Thing is, I use that Firefox Web Developer Toolbar for everything, it's a wonder that the "outline table cells" feature hasn't worn out. Also wondering how often other people use that when looking at sites, especially sites that look really impressive, even "mimicing" a css layouts only to find that the designer cheated! _____________________________ Nambucca Valley & Kempsey Web Design \| NixDesign Get Netscape Navigator 9 (in reply to jaybee)

As Jaybee says, as long as they're marked up correctly they can still be accessible. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to Nicole)
