Once upon a time Carl Morris shaped the electrons to say... ><OBJECT DATA="hello.png" TYPE="image/png"> > <OBJECT DATA="hello.gif" TYPE="image/gif"> > <P>Damn I tried to get you a graphic but my if-then construct says >that if you don't support GIF or PNG I'll send you this text >instead.</P> > </OBJECT> ></OBJECT> It is still completely up to the browser to handle this. This is like the user input to a program, not the program itself. Or, using the DB metaphor again, each level is like a DB entry, the browser works along the entries until it finds one it can do. This is DATA not programatic content. HTML provides DATA that programs can process. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-426-0770 FAX: 510-426-8951 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 6920 Koll Center Parkway #220, Pleasanton, CA 94566 See me in person: Internet Expo, Boston, MA, October 16-17, Booth 422 ;-)
