All is a matter of communication. :-) If you don't communicate, than you never will change *any*thing. This book title describes it. :-) http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Click-Blue-Switching-Firefox/dp/0596009399/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books-intl-de&qid=1213367699&sr=8-2 > Because about 80% of customers use it.

It just makes me look bad in their eyes. You don't need to, if you happen to use generated content (SSI, PHP, JSP, ...). There you can serve an apropriate mimetype dependend on the asking client, e.g. "application/javascript" for all browsers/clients, who are capable of that mimetype and "text/javascript" for the rest, which only is capable of that mimetype. That does function, i tried it, i do it. :-) It's the same with the mimetypes for XHTML content: serv "application/ xhtml+xml" for all full XHTML capable browsers, and serve "text/html" for that browsers, who don't understand the recommended "application/ xhtml+xml". Appropriate chosen doctype assumed. That does function either, it is practised in the web by many website owners and webmasters. :-) Sierk -- Sierk Bornemann email: sierkb@gmx.de WWW: http://sierkbornemann.de/
