Hello, 1) This is not part of HTML 4.0 and has been removed from the latest version of the specification. The example you point to is a usage of META that is implemented by some browsers although it is not standard in HTML. 2) The syntax that appears in the example is not what browsers implement as you discovered. I'm sorry for the confusion. As I mentioned, this has been removed from subsequent drafts. -Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
