The name attribute (for anchors) was not removed from W3C derivatives of HTML until XHTML 1.1, which isn't really suited for client side use at present anyway. Anchor elements can have both name and id attributes in HTML 4.01 Strict. > Only some name= and <del> are very critical. I can't say I use <del> very often, not many documents need to display changes from other versions. I suppose the need to indicate to browsers which don't support HTML 4 (which is now over half a decade old!) changes from other versions is a reason to use Transitional. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
