That's correct, as far as it goes. The parser doesn't know it's not a valid element until it hits the end of it at column 9. The real issue is that line/column isn't really a good pointer into markup. Highlighting the entire "<typo>" tag would make more sense. If it bothers you, you might find "visual" mode at http://valet.webthing,com/page/ preferable. > for comparison, the wdg's[1] caret indicator and column number are in > agreement on column 9. It uses the same parser. But other parsers will generate the same result when expressed as line/column. -- Nick Kew In urgent need of paying work - see http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
