The point of the UI extensions is not to affect existing form controls, but rather to create new ones. While it is true that the UA will do something sensible on HTML form controls, these are not at issue - if they were, system values would be across the board superfluous. Rather, their purpose is to allow one to create from a primitive element the appearance of any HTML element (plus more). With the primitive XML element, the UA *cannot* do something sensible. ----------------------------------- Please visit http://RichInStyle.com. Featuring: MySite: customizable styles.
