Since VBScript and Valid are a contradiction I'll ignore it *grin* but the purpose of jscript is to output html code that the broswer can use. I've got a number of scripts on my page and when I use the w3c validator it told me not where my script was bad (I use Mozilla's js debugger for that) but rather where the code it output was bad. I've had it burp on a couple of minor points. As for tclhttpd. Sweet isn't it. Small and it just plain works. James
