I still don't understand why you don't just allow people to use the html element. It's already there and only need a name added (a feature I requested). This is much easier than creating a static element and setting an empty template for it. It's a hack either way. Leaving the already used element in there for specifically this purpose is IMHO better than forcing people to hack the templates. -- Justin Patrin
