It's not HTML that has problems, it's Microsoft's crappy software. Writing virus-free HTML renderers is not hard - but of course Microsoft can still screw it up.

They *even* managed to get virulent spreadsheets and word processor documents! -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remove lock to reply. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
