I stand corrected. In HTML 4, it is indeed a NAME attribute, so a validator will report http-equiv="something i just invented" as an error. But naturally http-equiv="something-i-just-invented" will pass validation. And in XHTML, http-equiv is CDATA, since there is no NAME in XML. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
