No, there are no functions in HTML, which is a poor lonesame data
format.

The idea itself makes sense, but it belongs to the realm of CSS, not
HTML.

For example, navigation menus are typically (worse than) useless in
print copies, so they are best suppressed on printing, using e.g.

<ul class="nav">
...
</ul>

in markup and

@media print { .nav { display: none; } }

in a style sheet.

cheers for the help everyone, do you know if css can be used in
outlook signatures then? (as we don't want to print off the bit that
says 'please don't print this..save trees etc - the irony would be
innappropriate)

Quoting a message down to a sig is a way of telling that you didn't
understand it and won't bother either.

Nobody cares here. Check the newsgroup charter. Consider yourself
plonked.

Do you make these truisms up as you go along or do they come to you in
visions while you sleep?
