Dear Mr Petry,


There are days when one would like things different, and one

for a moment forgets all the reasons why they are as they are:

the issues and needs of different people all needing to use the

technology, and the hard work together which made a standard

come out in the end.


Of course, I cannot help you with your javascript problems.


The only thing I can do is point out that as far back as I can
remember,

FAQs have always been Frequenty Asked Questions.

1. You're becoming historic: FAQs are now, Frequently
<bold>Answered</bold> Questions! [They always were, I think]


2. xframes or frames are an older discussion than you let-on:
Documents should have been self-framable---so, when noone listened
some months, I did it in javascript...meaning, HTML became historic...


-.b. Of course, HTML should have been simpler, and had built-in
javascript, and had intrinsic text on everything:

<<href="window.open('http://w3.org','newhistoricwindow','noresize')"
"the-big-idea-little-yellow-pop-up-onmouseover text">w3.org<</href>


3. Frames, are window-tables in the head instead of document-tables in
the body....


4. I've been working several days trying (again after years hiatus) to
get MSIE (5.5, this time) to capture onmouseup within a frame--a frame
of document.selection.createRange().text. At the moment I've
discovered that document.onmouseup=capturetext only detects click
events on the window edge 2px (or 10px of the white space between
frames border=0 framespacing=10 frameborder=10)...but---

-.b. doesn't like the netscape's [undefined] "e" object...can't get
passed the if (e.which||e.button) detection clause...however---

-.c. document.addEvent("onmouseup",capturetext) differs by declaring
netscape's "e" object is an "[object]" and, does get passed the
if-clause detection---MSIE crawled over to netscape...weird!

-.d. frame onmouseup=capturetext doesn't do anything!


I think HTML should be cleaned up, instead of revised...there's so
much more (<<table><<tr> should be one row without the redundant
<<td>; <<tc> should be column(s)---<<tr> and <<tc> and <<td> are all
the same thing but with defaulted preferential dimension
"options")...and...


I'm about to rewrite the spec. for .HTML, and publish my results as
.HYPE!
