(And I disagree with Peter: most browsers _do_ "do something meaningful" with DIR and MENU -- formatting a menu like a bulleted list is a perfectly reasonable interpretation.) Yes, I should have said something more meaningful than imitating UL. But you're right about DIR/MENU not containing further list structures, although I'm not convinced that's A Good Thing. This isn't quite the same thing, though. <UL PLAIN WRAP=HORIZ> says "omit the bullets, wrap horizontally." <DIR> says "format this like a directory listing." I realize that most Web Designers feel No, DIR says "this is a directory listing". How it's formatted is up to the implementation, and three ways immediately come to mind. ///Peter
