> I believe it would be more useful to use constructs like <div class="employeeid"> and <a class="domestic" href=2xx"> > That would require more substantial changes to the body of the test, since the set up in most of the tests use a getElementsByTagName() to locate the element that is the focus on the test. If there is not a one-to-one correspondance of an existing tag name to an HTML tag name, then a different mechanism would have to be used to locate the focal element and the existing tests and the HTML compatible tests would diverge more than necessary. In addition, all tests that retrieved tag names would have to be changed to retrieve that class attribute. Also, I'm not sure why the differentiating on "class" would be more "useful". p.s. The file that I suggested last night does display identically in Opera, Mozilla and IE.
