Jukka, if you're going to chastise the use of this forum, you ought to provide an alternative, or at least a pointer to document stating the scope of this forum, since the name alone of this forum implies any discussion of "html" on the "www" is reasonable. >> Especially if it is correct to place it before the doctype: > > It is.
