Again, thanks for the help. I'm pretty good with HTML, CSS, etc. but inline javascript syntax eludes me... the reason I use inline script is because a lot of this goes into ebay ads and about me pages and their description editor blocks regular scripts. I work around this usually with inline script. I have been using textarea tags, but other than the initial style tag at the beginning, you don't much control of the way the text is displayed in the textarea.By the way, which browsers will be able to see the results of the above code?

No ProblemYes that right, when using ebay etc you will need to use inline scripts/styles. But something to consider for the future, inline scripts/styles are on the way out (if not already) so at somepoint you wont be able to use them. I wouldn't worry to much just now though cause they won't be dropped by browsers anytime in the near future.

Without checking i'm 100% certain will work with IE, FF and Opera.The code should work on many more though.
