Case doesn't matter, but does make it look sloppy. In addition, case /should/ matter when matching closing to opening tags. For example, try to avoid <td></TD> and mix-and-match versions thereof. Keep in mind, no matter what, even the following will still Just Work[tm]. It just won't validate when run through a nose-in-the-air checker. Note the obvious messes, as well as some other issues. It's ugly, but it works. <Table> <FORM method="post"> <!-- An example of an UGLY form! --> <TR> <input type="Hidden" name="field1" value="value1"> <td /> <textarea NAME="userfield1"><?=print_r($_SERVER);?></TextArea> </tD> </tr> </table> <input type="SUBMIT" value="GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" /> </form> -- </Daniel P.
