Re: [WSG] Entity Name vs Entity Number

Hi James,Theoretically there is no difference. I prefer to use numbers so make it not only valid XHTML, but also valid XML (XSL). It is easier to copy/paste code later. Also Netscape 4.x doesn't work properly with named entities, but who cares… best regards,Dmitry Baranovskiy On 19/10/2006, at 12:1

Re: [WSG] IE6 -> IE7

My two cents: The browser set up choice really depends on your needs. For example: I'm running Win XP on my main work machine and have upgraded to version 7 as my main IE install. I downloaded the IE6 standalone (eolas version) and set it aside for simple testing. I'm fortunate enough that

I can think of a few approaches you could try: 1. download VMware free server edition (go to http://vmware.com and find the download link) and install another instance of Windows with whichever browser you don't have running on your native Windows install. This gets around the issues of runnin
