For example, the "noshade" option in the HR tag requires no "=" value. There is no use in trying to merge them. So let us have real HTML and F the XML push. (I don't mind having XML-based HTML be a subset of HTML for those who make generators, I would note. For example, both NOSHADE and NOSHADE="Yes" would be valid HTML.) ________________ oop.ismad.com Edited by tablizer Nov. 11, 2002, 10:15:54 PM EST Expand All History
