Hi, From: Jonathan Worent <jworent@yahoo.com> >I have not personally confirmed this but websemantics.co.uk >mentions <base href="someURL" /> causes IE to not highlight >text. > ><base href="someURL" /> This is simply an HTML parsing bug in IE6, which has been fixed in IE7. It's completely unrelated to XHTML. Basically, IE6 requires an end tag for <base> and will construct an illegal DOM without it, where <body> is a child of both the <base> and <html> elements. See: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0D%0A%3Cbase%3E... For the selecting text bug to appear you need some CSS style rules as well, IIRC.
