I would say scrap that shit and go with CSS, the beauty you can create is amazing. However, every browser interprets CSS completely differently and if your a n00b it is incredibly easy to make one little mistake and fuck the whole thing up. Frontpage, and learn some MS Access. That way you can have dynamic pages meaning, you can change link content by adding a few lines to a database. Its not that hard, but it takes time to learn the scripting. ---
