Actually Alan, I just assume everyone respects me - I am notoriously hard to offend even when you mean to do so. But I digress. This is in fact another legacy problem, although it is one that is in a different to imagemaps, as an example. It seems pretty clear as CSS adoption spreads (Oh so slowly! sigh.) that eventually TABLEs will not be used for anything except tabular data, except by excessively backwards people. At which point it will be important for somebody to put a TABLE module into Lynx... Charles McCathieNevile On Thu, 7 Jan 1999, Alan J. Flavell wrote: With the greatest of respect, and honestly having no intention to be rude to anyone, it's necessary to understand the _real_ problem before addressing the solution. Lynx can often produce a _better_ result by not understanding TABLEs. But only because authors leaped on TABLEs as a visual formatting strategem. --Charles McCathieNevile - mailto:charles@w3.org phone: * +1 (617) 258 0992 * http://purl.oclc.org/net/charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative - http://www.w3.org/WAI 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, USA
