Also HTML (which has more SGML roots rather than XML root), does not have problems w/ the stuff you mentioned, just look at the original HTML specs (www.w3.org), and the SGML specs if you have lots of free time. Again, a problem w/ a faulty web browser's rendering could be worked around by whoever is interested in doing so and needs that functionality. Just modify the DSSSL or XSL used and then send them to the list (or the DocBook maintainers). This is open source/documentation after all. > You can't tell me that I never noticed any prob like > this > before (except with IE), except you are the "holy > Jesus" ;P What problem? the EOL or the incorrect rendering of valid HTML/XML? all of the above and more)? I believe you that this happens, cannot confirm as I fortunately do not use Windows at work or at home (scientific computing dictates stable OSes). Also I believe that you should complain to the programmers who wrote that faulty piece of software, easy and more permanent solution. As for the "holy" bit, nahh, don't want to end up crucified ;-). I am just a crazy scientist that kludges its way through programming ;-) ===== --- Jesus M. Castagnetto <jmcastagnetto@php.net> __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
