Janet, I think the site is very well done ... and I don't see why if you comment the table structure carefully and the person doing the updates has some idea of what tables do and how they are built they will have any trouble ... most of HTML is really common sense and very logical if you look at it as an outline and the tables as a grid for positioning things ... maybe if you diagram the page on paper with the lines as they would appear if you turned on borders they would have another tool to work with ... just make sure they have a good tool to edit with .. like arachnophila or that they understand saving files in HTML from wordpad or notepad .. you would be surprised at how many questions I get about why they can't see their HTML only to discover they have uploaded a text or doc file .... I would also point them to a good HTML tutorial .. this one fits the bill nicely and has a great tables tutor as well .. http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/ as for the center everything mode of web design .. well let them take the site to some free server and make a "kewl" page with a black background and lots of whirling penguins and looping 150k midi file of train whistles ... sorry couldn't resist that one ... but you know that is what that person really wants to do :-) Susan helpdesk(at)equineestates.com http://www.equineestates.com Your home on the internet for all things "horse". ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
