Further to this, although I haven't done a great deal of testing myself yet, I hear that old browsers sometimes aren't able to apply CSS rules to tags that aren't recognised or that have attributes that aren't recognised. So if we test this patch with old browsers we should also test how CSS is affected. Julien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
