However, as Bjoern said, any whitespace is invalid in a URL so your HTML is not invalid, your URL is invalid. If there needs to be whitespace somewhere, put it at the beginning or end of the attribute because is is supposed to be stripped when parsed and will make no difference if parsed properly. -- Brant Langer Gurganus http://www.cherokeescouting.org/OtherUnits/Troop545IIN/brant.xhtml If "Actions speak louder than words," how is that "The pen is mightier than the sword."?
