>You are correct about that. I was thinking of how Java Script works where when you mouse over a menu item, it becomes bold or changes in some way to signal that youa re over it. As you say, it is probably not a good idea to mess with it and simple is better for what I'm doing.

...And at least some of us get upset when a menu item enlarges as you pass over it on the way to the next menu pad item, only to have it move on you once it becomes the 'highlighted' one < s >
Sometimes too much sizzle burns the steak.
