Why does anyone think that embarrassment is going to produce any changes? Education is the key; publicly humiliating someone by saying "ha ha, your web site works perfectly fine in our browser BUT it doesn't meet technical specifications that the vast majority of WEB DEVELOPERS don't know, let alone the general web-using public" is pretty silly. If there's no reason to use valid HTML beyond avoiding the "nyah nyah" factor from a small handful of HTML purists (that's us), then of -course- there will be no change. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Technical Developer Liaison, Reef http://www.reef.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://idyllmtn.com/ Online Instructor, Accessible Web Design http://kynn.com/+d201
