I was under the impression that at least the former >had been officially proposed within a year ago. I think they both sound like excellent additions to HTML. INPUT TYPE=scribble was proposed a couple years ago in HTML 3.0 [1], along with INPUT TYPE=range. There are a lot of situations in which the range input type (probably rendered as a spin edit on a GUI browser) would be extremely useful. Is there any hope of getting these input types into HTML 4.0?

It would be nice to specify which MIME types are acceptable via the ACCEPT attribute. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBM+ab5w/JhtXygIx1AQESlQL/YccsL8aWIJKa5+nflZNTN9p6JXM5U8fu MGCuE3XrWdnPJ5FIyucZ8JAf4+ucTcfu+84JeOnCtvW64PijtLsmwYWTYyeuCTba ZhPW4EQxi+vmZAxfDT/VQfV1vj8Nz/7h =zWzb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Liam Quinn =============== http://www.htmlhelp.com/%7Eliam/ =============== Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/ ====== PGP Key at http://www.htmlhelp.com/%7Eliam/pgp.html =====
