Thanks for the reply Dean,
However when I checked this post today the coloured Graemlins were there not the colons, brackets etc. I saw when I posted. Perhaps CGI translates them into the pictures after you submit. I don't preview and I don't check if the post made it until later. I am running IE 6.0 (six) plus service packs and upgrades but thanks again for the reply. I'll try it out. This should be a happy face.
Cheers Tony
