Aren't you perhaps refering to > case-sensitive ATTRIBUTE VALUES and not case-sensitive NAMES? Seemingly so. Unfortunately, the HTML DOM documentation uses the term "name" in the sense "value of the 'name' attribute" rather than the sense employed in clause 3.2.1 of HTML 4.0. For example, the getElementsByName method returns elements with a given attribute value for the 'name' attribute, rather than a given HTML name (= SGML general identifier, XML element type). -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk?
