Hard to tell what happened, since you don't specify a URL that would demonstrate what you really tried. > To reproduce this bug: It's nowhere near a bug. If you wish to make the closing tags obligatory, write a modified DTD, or (to be impractical) convert your document into XHTML. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
