Actually, I think sun.com is a bad example. It it not targeted to the technical audience... In all the times I've had to find docs and other related materials, it was always too many clicks away from the main page to start getting information.. (of course, once you learn, you go to docs.sun.com, or some other site, instead of www.sun.com)... and I usually end up breaking down to use search to find it... :( As long as we keep the left side bar, I'll be happy... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
