He asked you to come up with a standard, so why aren't you looking for that? Might be nice to come up with a list of "browsers that do" and "browsers that don't", but you're still going to need to point to an RFC to have a convincing argument. Good on the maintainer for adhering to standards and not giving in to creaping feeturitus. -- Ken Irving, Research Analyst, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 907-474-6152 Water and Environmental Research Center Institute of Northern Engineering University of Alaska, Fairbanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
