Escaping special characters are always done, even if a browser would never display the data. This is standard behavior of all apps that generate HTML. Plus, with the nature of data mhonarc processes, not escaping creates security vulnerabilities. I do not know what search engine you are refering to, but any sane one will always decode any entity references when indexing. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
