Hmm, how exactly? If a form start tag is appear in the middle of one table cell and the end tag in the middle of another, how do you create a tree for existing content? The form element is clearly not well formed and some kind of surgery will be needed, e.g. getting the relevant fields to reference a form element via an attribute rather than being part of the form element's content. Note that I was unable to implement the WF2 form attribute on Firefox using a script, although it was easy to do so on Opera. I thought that you were particularly concerned with graceful fallback for new content on old browsers with or without scripts being enabled. -- Dave
