Netscape-3 beta 5 now has: <MULTICOL> ... balanced multicolumn formatting. I had suggested this (for short sequences) since the directory-list was depreciated. Roundly denounced as impractical. <TD BGCOLOR=> I think this will go over really big! <FONT FACE=> with a list of possible fonts! Interoperabiliy with explicit fonts will be a boondogle, especially once multilingual capabilities are implemented. May I recommend font families instead, very generic, such as "roman", "gothic", "typewriter", "cursive", "fancy" or whatever. Not all these apply to Arabic and Japanese, of course. The stylesheet issue remains open. Anyway, HTML3.2 is fast being left behind as we rush into the unknown, undefined and unstandardized :-) ------- Unicode UTF8 appears on the document encoding dropdown but is grayed out. Someday ...
