I hope that someone from Netscape or MS will follow this thread. I believe that if I can communicate to them why this is so important, that they will get behind the effort to incorporate these changes or at least change the current implementation of the SELECT widget in Windows so that it will respond to the PRE tag. I believe that the browser that made this change would have a huge advantage in being selected as the required browser in any organization that was interested in creating low-cost, platform-independent, enterprise-wide, relational database applications. ==================================================================== Gregory A.
