(There's also some '<script FOR=navButton ...>', '<script ... for="window" ...>', '<META NAME=description CONTENT=Comprehensive online investor information resource for tracking UK stock market ...', etc. script@for (along with script@event and table@datapagesize) is actually allowed by the HTML4 DTDs (and the validator), but with the comment "reserved for possible future use".) -- Philip Taylor philip@zaynar.demon.co.uk
