no, it's the DOCTYPE that's missing. Just for tidiness, I did add DOCTYPE to some of the internal pages, but not others (probably those where the file is normally written to disk - I see that the options menu has a DOCTYPE). The file browser is in memory (when source caching is enabled). Lynx doesn't actually _use_ the picture that you see in the source view, since it's using the parsed data that it uses to make the picture. > <H2>Current directory is /tmp</H2> > <H2></H2> <--why empty H2? > <PRE> drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1024 Dec 21 02:39 <A > HREF="tmp/..">../</A></PRE> > <PRE>... <-- why wasted opening and closing PRE on each line?!

Actually it hadn't occurred to me that I could use -source on an internal page like that, so I never ran that check. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
