No. Perhaps "client-generated table of contents" was over-brief: I can send an XML/XSL document and have the client software (browser) both display the document and rearrange the content to display a table of contents. CSS is only a formatting language: it attaches style properties to the elements of a source document. It lacks facilities commonly found in report generators, mail-merge programs, etc., for massaging a set of data into a human-readable format. It assumes that process has been done by an external program. Regards, -- JeffC ****************************************************** Dr. Jeffrey L.
