I care about *all* visitors to my site. Lets not get carried away with this, how many visitors to web sites use non-graphical browsers? And how many of those have ONLY a non-graphical browser? The web is popular *because* it is a GRAPHICAL method of presenting information. The Internet was not very widely used until the web came along. HTML is a method of creating graphical (or intuitive) and interactive access to information. ---------------------------------------------- }:-o Regards /Hass ---------------------------------------------- 08 - 63 93 644 (Work) 08 - 99 74 39 (Home) 070 - 66 46 180 (Mobile) http://hass.home.ml.org hass@bigfoot.com ---------------------------------------------- "I may not agree with what you say but I will fight until I die for your right to say it." - Voltaire (A very clever man)
