It get's worse once you use frames in Netscape. As I said, we've known how to make sure this all works for more than a year and a half (certainly in cocrete form for more than a year), isn't it about time it was fixed? As for netscaoe's servers, natively, they do very little to help. Last time I looked, there was no *simple* way of allowing correct content labelling.
