I think what the spec used to have makes a lot more sense, but if there's a compat need, fair enough. http://html5.org/r/8517 Note that Chrome/Safari don't seem to support "off" and "noscroll", only "no". I didn't test IE. The spec supports all three, still (as does FF). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
