I couldn't figure out what GH style was or what it did, and the height setting or text length setting did either.
Could just be my template.
But it's a nice subtle way of attracting your site visitor's eye.
Thanks Chanh

GH is for one of the customer site that he want this specific way to show so I tailor made it for him.
Thank you wonderwoman!
