I interpreted your question as asking if there was a description of the "restricted HTML" that Maciej describes, in the spec. Since the restriction is to disable script, that's what I pointed to. > Is the only HTML that is suitable for transmission by email to a web > mail user one that doesn't rely on scripting? I would presume that Web mail and regular e-mail clients would use the same kind of e-mail standards. It seems highly unwise to splinter the e-mail world based on the user agent used. > How can I email HTML which uses <canvas>, if scripting is turned off for > web mail users? It doesn't seem particularly wise to enable scripting in e-mail, but I suppose if one wanted to, there's no theoretical reason one couldn't do so, really. For Web mail clients in particular, the sandbox="" feature I mentioned in my earlier e-mail would be quite well suited to providing the control that a Web mail provider could want to have. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
