Given that the contents of an iframe are a separate document, I was going to offer that it would make more sense to accomplish this with <object type="text/html"> but I see now from http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/changes.html that object is unsupported in XHTML 1.1. Why is that, since applet, which was deprecated in HTML4, has been carried through unchanged? For that matter, XHTML 1.1 seems to be backtracking from some of the philosophical changes made in HMTL4 (sorry I didn't RTFM before this, but despite having been subscribed to this list and endured endless ranting about a "tag soup spec", I was totally unaware that there was an XHTML 1.1), e.g., the removal of the lang attribute. Would someone care to elaborate on some of the logic here? And can anyone describe a replacement for a functional use of frames using XHTML 1.1 and CSS, especially given the lack of an object element? John T.
