A couple people I respect a heck of a lot have voted against, but I've heard no technical explanation of "why" from them... I voted "Yes" because I've never found a need for /e at all, personally. Not sure my vote even counts, so feel free to nuke it. :-) Or maybe I'm just not smart enough to employ it, but un-wind the text and use more PHP code to get the job done... Anyway, I'd like to hear reasoned thoughts on "No" votes. -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE
