This is something I do *not* like; I have seen far too many form fields returned with the user's input appended to the place-marking text. (Or even worse, interspersed with it.) When it becomes accepted practice to omit this, I'll be one of the first to stop... I feel that this may be a case of whole legions of Web developers having to do extra work to make up for the failings of but a few programmers (those writing the screen readers). I do both, so I'm not biased ;-) Cheers M -- Matthew Smith IT Consultant - KBC, South Australia KBC Web Site http://www.kbc.net.au PGP Public Key http://gpg.mss.cx
