hey wort (aka mj)...perhaps you could actually *help* this op and use the
two or three sentences it would take to explain the reason(s) - such that he
has a "v8" moment...as in, viola, ohhhhhh, etc.. else, your advise to use
strict html 4.01 will be prompty filed in the op's circular bin as you give
him NO incentive to follow said advice.

LOL. You just couldn't resist having another dig at me, could you? IMO my "advise" [sic] was good, and (second time lucky) I cross-posted to alt.html which is a more appropriate newsgroup for the topic, where "MS" could ask for clarification or more information.

Anyway, it was still more helpful than your "you start by RTFM" response to <1148469014.190473.71330@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

BTW should I feel flattered that you've chosen me as a sparing partner?
