You might as well have <form > action="/index.html" method="GET"><input type='submit' value="Go > Here" /></form> instead of an anchor tag. It isn't meaningless -- the meaning is that it is not an anchor. A better design for forms would have placed the method attribute on the button element (or input type=submit) instead of the form element. That is, after all, how most other form interfaces work. I assume it is too late to fix that bug. Likewise, a browser standard should encourage the UI to be standardized by method name so that the user would not be fooled into making unsafe actions. ....Roy
