My question is, which > way of interpretation is correct? > > Below is the HTML in question, note the <B> formatting within the <PRE> tags: [rest deleted ...] A friend recently encountered something like this. He was putting together a form, and he wanted two lines to look like this: Username: ______________ Id: ______________ Instead, it was coming out like this: Username: ______________ Id: ______________ He finally solved the problem by enclosing the whole thing, <INPUT> tags and all, inside a PRE element. I was astonished that this worked. Predictably, it turned out that it worked with one browser (xmosaic) and not with another (lynx). The current HTML 3.0 DTD explicitly permits this, and the current HTML 2.0 DTD (which, I am aware, does not necessarily reflect reality) explicitly prohibits it. Regards, Glenn Vanderburg
