Well, this is what sets the caring webmasters apart from the uncaring or
ignorant ones. I've seen <BUTTON> used, but that webmaster didn't stop to
think that maybe 90% of visitors would be unable to submit the form.
As for using deprecated tags, you may certainly choose to do so -- just be

be somplace else. Anyone have a URL? TIA...
