I never noticed that they ever were browser-independent.
I know, that's why I said 'that IE has supported for years' and why I can't use them.
Despite the ways there are to do this such as these canvas projects or something big and bulky client-side (Java, Flash possibly, any number of similar technologies), what baffles me most is that you can inject content client-side into many tags: script, style, div, title, all of the things which contain HTML or text. But you can't do that with the specialised tags like img, object and applet. Granted these do not contain HTML, but then neither do script and style. It just seems peculiar to me that there is this mismatch - why wouldn't HTML have the capability to support, e.g. <img>GIF89a...binary rubbish...</img>? --rob -- Rob Desbois Eml: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
