aloha, wendy! you wrote, quote: We had assumed that we could identify which OBJECT elements included programmatic objects by looking at the "type" or "codetype" attribute. However, there is not a type defined for Java or Flash in the current list of MIME types [2]. I had expected to find a subcategory of application for Java and flash. unquote don't mime types need to be registered via IANA http://www.iana.org/ there is an online MIME type registration form located at: http://www.isi.edu/cgi-bin/iana/mediatypes.pl but i seriously doubt if we could register Flash and ECMAScript unilaterally... obviously, macromedia needs to be prodded to register flash and shockwave, and something needs to be done about JavaScript/ECMASript, too... if so, would the HTML WG/CG be the appropriate persons to liaison? gregory -------------------------------------------------------- He that lives on Hope, dies farting -- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1763 -------------------------------------------------------- Gregory J.
