You will find (recent!) related posts and background information by crawling for that in the mailing list archives. ;-) On the other hand, note that the behavior shouldn't be seen (IMHO) as annoying but as an Amaya feature. It's just making your life easier! (Displaying the characters is much easier than parsing HTML entities, right?) ;-) > A similarly annoying thing happens with <applet> tags.

I find this weird and, honestly, couldn't figure out the big difference between the two which would lead browsers to work/fail. Could you detail on this a little and paste a the complete markup (cleaned up, perhaps)? > Thanks a lot for your insight on this > > Francesco Hope this helps, Helder
