Oh, hey... look at that. I didn't realize that innerHTML was one of the concessions that the Mozilla folks made when attempting to strictly adhere to W3C standards. At some point in the development of Mozilla, the team decided that they would die if they didn't support some of the tag soup that MSIE has allowed to fester on the web. Perhaps this was one of the things that they decided to support. At any rate, you should try to avoid anything that's not a W3C standard. > Works in IE, FF and Opera at least, I don't have a Mac to try in Safari > but I'd bet it works just fine.

W3Schools lists this table for the innerHTML property: Property IE F O W3C innerHTML 4 1 9 No So, Opera recently added support, and MSIE and FF have had it from the very beginning (yeah, MSIE 2 and 3 existed before that, but nobody used them). No word on Mozilla itself, but it was far enough back that it shouldn't matter these days. >> Users of browsers like NN 4, MSIE 4, and some others might be left out >> in the cold.

No question. All my apps from the last few years use reasonably recent standards such as CSS and XHTML. Most old browsers render XHTML just fine, and sadly CSS isn't perfect across "compliant" browsers even today. But if you're using NN 4, it's just time to upgrade, dude ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFoRf39CaO5/Lv0PARAoeKAJ4hixOpkRiVRcdd8trbPHoxCaYQmACgrf5c JPBCunbZAnOr5vdUxl0Dpbo= =mHn6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
