:>It is a distinction without a difference. HTML is a formal language and :>it can viewed as a programming language for a certain (very important :>and very powerful) form of graphic user interface. I think we've found the Problem(tm) here. HTML is not for building GUIs. Of course people have a great desire to base GUI's around HTML. It makes a so-so glue. The true strength and power of HTML is being completely ignored, so I won't even bother to startle anyone out of their GUI revery with it. Let's just say that without this power, the Web is going to continue to be harder to navigate without it. Matt
