There's no way that > an HTML authour is going to always be able to be sure that TYPE will We should consider that the greater majority of the time the author will be writing both the HTML file and the linked resource, so that would make the author the authoratative dictator of the type of the document, and just as an invalid link is the error of the author, so would be a mismatched type. I think we often try to find a way to prevent the author from being able to make a mistake, which just seems silly. As far as I am concerned the author KNOWS the type of all of their documents and should have the right to override whatever the server is returning. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://mortar.bigpic.com/> Neil St.Laurent <mailto:stlaurent@bigpic.com> Big Picture Multimedia +1.403.265.8018
