Albert said nothing earlier about _where_ his EVENT element should go. As this is metadata, I suggest that HTML can already cope with it in the normal way: <html> <head> <meta name="element.content" content="P=200;TABLE=75,25"> </head> Why reinvent the wheel? Benjamin continues: Ok. It is *VERY* clear at this point that you have somehow gotten the idea that everyone in the world uses mono-spaced fonts to render HTML normally (ie that 'i' takes the same room as 'W' on everyones' screens). You may have gotten this misconception from a browser that you use that is configured to use mono-spaced fonts for everything such as Lynx on a text oriented terminal. It doesn't really matter where you got it from. Just looking at Albert's address, he's on AOL. Is it possible the the ghodawful AOL "browser" is a monospace-font job? Have AOLers been suffering a Courier existence? ///Peter
