We may be drifting far afield here, and I don't usually follow these esoteric points in emerging standards terribly closely, but I just want to know if I understand what this means. Does this mean the old trick of hiding Javascript in HTML comments is not going to work in XML-ized pages? Can you even have Javascript in XML-ized pages? I suddenly feel like I'm missing something crucial. I haven't seen this issue discussed before... -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ / Todd_Lewis@unc.edu http://www.unc.edu/~utoddl / /(919) 962-5273 "Year 00 compliant for -98 years!" / +------------------------------------------------------------+
