No, it's a recommendation, an advise, nothing else. Otherwise they would call it a standard. Why do you think W3C calls it recommendations? Because it are no standards. There is an ISO HTML standard though, but when people babble about HTML standards they talk about W3C *recommendations*. "Recommendation Specifications published by the W3C. They cannot be officially called "standards," since the W3C is a consortium that does not have the status of the standard body reserved for the ISO and national standard bodies. The specifications, which are finalized and approved by the Director, are then called "W3C Recommendations."" (Quote from an O'Reilly book) > And Microsoft must disagree with you. So that must mean you're right? Then wonder why there is an ISO standard (yes) for HTML. -- John Small Perl scripts: http://johnbokma.com/perl/ Perl programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ I ploink googlegroups.com :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
