Are you trying to say that "While `idŽ /can/ be used on `AŽ, it's not necessary as it was with `<A name="foo">Ž, and some browsers do not support it, so XHTML Basic _prefers_ that you place `idŽ attributes on other elements to achieve the same effect"? It sounds like both you and Masayasu Ishikawa[0] are saying that `<A id="foo">Ž is actually illegal in XHTML Basic, and I assume that's incorrect? [0] - Is "Masa" the correct shortening or is that overly familiar? With English names I have a vague idea, but with Japanese(?) I'm way out of my dept. Would Masayasu-san be correct or have I seen too many bad WWII movies? :-) -link, still not sure if Christian grinds his teeth at "Chris". :-)Received on Tuesday, 2 January 2001 14:50:23 UTC
