This is basically being discussed for "select editable", but no solution has been found that suits all needs, - backwards compatible - forward compatible - implementable - semantic and therefore there hasn't been looked into this yet I suppose. Having a comma separated list might work, but is probably too technical for most users. > Thoughts? Which is in your opinion more common, type=email-single or > type=email-multiple? Single. Just see all the weblogs, login forms etc. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
