Once upon a time Daniel Dardailler shaped the electrons to say... >I agree with Megazone (sorry I lost your real name) that his proposal While I haven't legally changed it yet (keep meaning to) that's what I go buy. On my office, business cards, et al. Yes, I'm one of those weirdos who started using his handle offline. ;-) >It looks to me that even Dave's proposal of ><!ELEMENT optgroup O O (option+)> >woudl require visual browser to do something. I don't think 'require' is the right word. It should be safe for any existing browser to ignore the element and still produce a functional, meaningful SELECT list. It would be nice if they produced some kind of tabbed index, or pop-up list, etc. But not necessary. They might do something as simple as place a rule across the list: --group one-- opt1 opt2 --group two-- opt3 opt4 We shouldn't be telling them how to present it, we are simply defining *structure* and the browser is free to implement that as they wish. Obviously current browsers will do nothing with it - presenting the SELECT list as we know it to date. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588Received on Tuesday, 14 October 1997 15:42:33 UTC
