Yes, I've seen the page and the context... but a visitor who hasn't been privy to any of the design discussions would have no way of knowing for certain whether the designer had decided to confine their use of black links to navigation areas or not, other than rolling their mouse over a few other black things just to make sure. In other words, I know that you know it would be bad design to use black links everywhere, but how does the user know that you know? :o) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[email protected] Java Desktop System Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems
