<http://holstius.com/span_tags.html> The page now validates as XHTML and the LABEL tags now reference the "id" attribute of the INPUT tags. Thanks to David Wooley for catching this. I'd originally thought the page validated, but it was part of a site that required a login, and when the validator tried to parse this page, it was kicked out to the login and thus actually validated the *login* page. Whoops. Re: Netscape performance. This page was part of a demo project I was presenting to an IE audience. The project is on hold and won't be public for some time. I haven't tested in in NS6/Mozilla yet. Typically, for a public version, I'd install a sniffer of some sort and feed different stylesheets to CSS-compatible browsers than to (shudder) NS 4.x. I use a "positive-id" scheme, i.e. I'll take the base page, add whatever valid CSS I know won't break in NS4, and feed that as default to all browsers. Then (using server-side if available, otherwise some JS) I additionally feed the rest of the CSS I want to use, but ONLY for those browsers I have managed to personally test it on, before the page goes out the door. So untested browsers just get the base level CSS, but sometimes I do add a third stylesheet for NS4. Re: Accesskeys. Again, the page was for a known audience, but I know now that those accesskeys in the form will interfere with (at least) IBM Home Page Reader's defaults, thanks to Jim Thatcher. I agree; using this many accesskeys is probably not a good idea but I wanted to emphasize the concept to my demo audience. Cheers, David Holstius
