A general way to employ the Content-type header to specify a document type is: Content-type: text/xml; element="html"; fpi="-//W3C//DTD XTHML 1.0 Strict//EN"; uri="http://www.w3.org/XHTML.DTD" This should apply to text/html, text/xml, text/sgml, application/xml etc. deja vu all over again :-) Jonathan Borden http://jabr.ne.mediaone.net
