I agree, but no one is laying standards on M$ -- they do whatever the hell they want -- and that's one of the reasons there are so many differences between browsers, especially theirs. I understand why IE6 has about 60 percent of the users, but FireFox is gaining fast at 25 percent last month which beats out everything else except IE6. [/snip] If there were standards each of the browser makers would adhere to them and then add their 'features' on top of those standards. Non-compliant browsers would be left in the dust. I remember a time when Netscape was the leading browser. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
