>What HTML mark-up would encode a >POST-style bookmark? Maybe I am picky, but the above should be "what HTML-*like* mark-up would encode a POST-style bookmark?". Having just recently tried and failed to get HoTMetal Pro 3.0 to let me edit my Netscape 3.0 bookmark file, in my experience you can't say that bookmark files are true HTML. However, because they _could_ be valid HTML, the fact that bookmark files are not currently in valid HTML is not a valid argument. Offhand, I would think adding to HTML support for bookmark lists would be appropriate. The DTD fragment could look something like: <!-- bookmark list --> <!ELEMENT BL - - (BL | BLE)+ > <!-- bookmark list entry --> <!-- contains 1 anchor, possibly with POST request data --> <!ELEMENT BLE - - (BL | ble.content)+ > <!ENTITY % ble.content "A, POSTDATA?" > <!-- data for a POST request, encoded as PCDATA --> <!ELEMENT POSTDATA - - (#PCDATA) > I can even see where you could use data entities in POSTDATA for binary files to be uploaded. (P.S. Please set flamethrowers on low; this is my first DTD fragment! :) ====================================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
