In discussing frames, Al pointed out that LINK is largely ignored. Meybe that should be rectified. CSS means that the use of LINK is likely to enter into people's consciousness a bit more. But its applicability is limited by its generality - like META, it may be too broadly specified to get a good running as a useful idea. It is also possible that the use of multi-lingual sites and the LNK REL-alternate LANG=xx may promote use of the idea. All the multilingual sites I have looked at (I think there have been about 4) have simply offered links using the A HREF system. (although I may be wrong - I have not yet tried to set my preferred language to sometihng other than english) Perhaps the mistake was made in introducing frames seperately rather than by using LINK to create the connections and attributes like width where format control was desired. Have we lost a good idea, or are we justwaiting to use it really well? Charles McCathieNevile
