Putting things in a different light, let's assume that Philippe was talking with regards to the specifications (that's how I took it) and they say that html _IS_ the root. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Document_structure_elements So it doesn't matter that the IE developers forgot they had implemented some hidden node outside of <html>, to my mind what Philippe said /was/ still correct. Just an opinion. -- /*Mark ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
