If we're considering the use of the object element for new types of form control rather than new "mark-up" then its use is congruent with the existing HTML 4 specification. See. http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.2. 1 http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.13 .2 For further information on the use of object elements within forms. -- Ben Meadowcroft http://www.benmeadowcroft.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
