See my posting on the META suggestion for a slightly better >implementation. I don't see how it's better. In fact, since my example used valid HTML 4.0 and since it's already implemented by some browsers, I'd say that the LINK method is better. For multiple mirrors, you can just use multiple LINK elements. You can also use the TITLE attribute to describe the mirror, e.g., "Russian Mirror". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNL/t9Q/JhtXygIx1AQFfHQL/etMAFZdS8KmuB7PGpJNDUq6it3fsoQm3 g4iwf5RW+qHGm7aOlc8zpyKSjWwhchq8udFbeBW15Q71/lO78WsY+F3oZ0xVKqVh XlfCklfcclzsKWgGmDiYJ37F9HPKd5aG =nnfE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liam Quinn Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/
