No, there isn't, as you can see by checking the list of elements: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/index/elements.html > if there is no such tag or a similar tag i would like to suggest > consideration for its inclusion in a future version of html. And what would it mean, and what would be the syntax, and what would be useful for? Would it be used for browsers which do not support forms, so that you could specify the alternative content (such as an E-mail address, phone number, or postal address)? We might have needed such an element years ago, but practically speaking all browsers support forms nowadays. User agents which are fundamentally different from graphical or text-mode browsers may have difficulties with forms. But it seems that e.g. speech-based user agents could be programmed to handle fill-out forms, especially if authors use the accessibility enhancements defined in HTML 4.0 (such as LABEL). So a construct for specifying alternative content wouldn't really be needed. -- Yucca, http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/ or http://yucca.hut.fi/yucca.html
