I was using the latter sense. Since those controls are generally used in-line with formal or informal labels, the HTML+CSS specifications should say that by default they are treated as if they were squares into which an upper-case letter of the current font would just fit, with that alterable in all the usual ways by CSS. Also, their glyphs should be selectable in the same manner as list-blobs are. One should not need to use images. The mark ought to be selectable as a character in the current, or styled font; most choices would be unreasonable, but many would not. After all, "input type=button" can be styled like any other text. BTW, window.find() is amusing in its cross-browser variants. -- (c) John Stockton, nr London, UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05. Website - w.
