True! I suppose that it's easier to NOT code them to look for <html> tags (I think IE uses the filename extension, actually), but it couldn't be a huge addition to the code. Still, my biggest hangup with browsers is inconsistent CSS support. My page looks completely different in IE5.1 Mac, IE 5 Windows, and IE 6 Windows... and I have to say that IE 5.1 Mac renders it in the "correct" way, not version 6 as you might expect. (I think.) Browsers tolerate a little -too- much, but I do demand more than I should of HTML authors (I try to only use XHTML Strict). Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
