Once upon a time Paul Prescod shaped the electrons to say... >collapsible trees either. One important reason to avoid Javascript is >that it is not a W3C standard, Web UAs don't have to support it, and the ECMAScript is now a ratified standard. The W3C was supporting the ECMA effort, so one hopes they will recognize the standardization. I don't agree that active content should be part of HTML. It is programatic, not structural. There are already vendors talking about releasing ready-to-use script blocks that you can drop into a document to get these effects. Doing things piecemeal isn't worth it, when the DOM is standardized then we'll have a standard way to do this and much more. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
