I'm sorry Brian, but there's only "one" browser in the world that is content to render an html statement without the closing tag. all other browsers as I've experienced want the closing tag to be there. and if MS would come up to standards you wouldn't have to check your pages in other browsers to ensure the pages you're outputting will and can be read by anything apart from IE. supplying only part of a statement without closing that statement is just sloppy, and lazy coding practice. this sloppy coding practice flows over into their SQL server platform as well. one only needs to work on the MS SQL server for a short time to witness this. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User 182496
