Thanks very much for that, all working fine. I have changed things a little and set a title on a repeating rightcoloumn element : <!ELEMENT page (rightcolumn*,bodytext,leftcolumn?)> <!ELEMENT rightcolumn (html)> <!ELEMENT bodytext (html)> <!ELEMENT leftcolumn (html)> <!ATTLIST rightcolumn title CDATA #REQUIRED> I have tried to get the titles into each box but have been having trouble. It ether displayed the last one in all the boxes or it displayed all the tiles above the boxes. Any Pointers on this?
