Actually, they do. HTC web control components are pretty neat. Slow, but if you don't load them up with too many objects, rather serviceable. But they've had the heck beaten out of them for things like HTC components and data islands. Still, they slog on. I don't mean to stand here and be the Microsoft Thrall (i guess I am) but to say, they do improve the browser, do it with XML, and it's hard for me to understand anyone not seeing that. The treeview is a good example of using XML to provide a nested linking structure that works in the GUI. len From: Tim Bray [mailto:tbray@textuality.com] I think Microsoft, like every technology vendor, is busy and short of staff. Right at the moment there's not much market advantage for microsoft to pour heavy amounts of investment and creativity into enhancing the web browser, a product which brings no revenue and wins no market share. -Tim
