Firstly here is my HTML snippet: <FORM><P><HELLO> <TEXTAREA><HELLO> <P>& out there in <TEXTAREA> land</TEXTAREA> </FORM> According to HTML 4.0 TEXTAREA has a content of #PCDATA, yet both IE and Netscape put the <HELLO><P> and <TEXTAREA> in the TEXTAREA field on the page, yet these are markup... It seems <TEXTAREA>'s content is being treated as #RCDATA rather than #PCDATA? Additionally, the (#PCDATA)* in the DTD seems incorrect: SGML (ISO 8879) 11.2.4.2 rep Optional and repeatable (0 or more times) ... The "#PCDATA" content toekn is regarded as having an occurance indicator of rep. - Putting the additional * on seems to break the content model because now technically we're allowed zero or more and an already possibly empty PCDATA. Are we just confused about the standard or is there a genuine problem here? __ | Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://bigpic.com/mortar/> | Neil St.Laurent neil@bigpic.com | Big Picture Multimedia
