David Meadows point relating to Word and RTF is interesting and probably correct in the context of static HTML (comparatively, RTF is static), but I think that it breaks down when you compare RTF to more complex HTML and to DHTML. For example, I find it easier to construct a series of nested framesets long-hand than rely on the eccentricity of the HTML output of some off-the-shelf authoring software. Also, cross-editing (using one off-the-shelf to edit output of another) of anything moderately complex is almost impossible, as is effective cross-platform coding. I suspect that an eventual coherent acceptance of the DOM may help pave the way towards rendering HTML invisible in all but the more unusual cases? ******************************************************************************* Adrian Bregazzi International Liaison Falmouth College of Arts Woodlane Falmouth Cornwall TR11 4RH England Tel: -- 44 1326 211077 (FCA main) -- 44 1326 21 3793 (direct) -- 44 1326 318693 (home) Fax: -- 44 1326 212261 (office) -- 44 1326 211205 (FCA main) Cell: -- 44 411 233955 (but not in S America, USA, Japan, India) | Email: adrian@falmouth.ac.uk auto-relayed to FCAWorld@aol.com AOL: Bregazzi@aol.com (personal account) Website: http://www.falmouth.ac.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
