I don't think that the indexes are well implemented. Instead of a listing containing start tag (which is almost always required anyway), end tag (which is generally easy to figure out on your own) and Empty (which isn't very useful), I think a very brief description as well as a list of (somewhat) unique attributes would be more useful (this way, it would be possible to look at this page for quick info without having to look through the specs for information). For example: tag Description Attributes | P | Paragraph | ALIGN |IMG| Image | ALIGN, SRC, HEIGHT, WIDTH, HSPACE, VSPACE ... Also, I question the table layout itself. While presenting information in this way may be easiest to format, very long tables may cause problems for some browsers. Even after the page was loaded in my cache, it still took several seconds for the entire table to render, whereas a textual equivalent would have been instantaneous (and I'm running on a fast computer with lots o' memory). -------------------------------------------------------- [ Jordan Reiter ] [ mailto:jreiter@mail.slc.edu ] [ "You can't just say, 'I don't want to get involved.' ] [ The universe got you involved." --Hal Lipset, P.I. ] --------------------------------------------------------
