That explains it. The caution about the prolog still stands. Support for xml in browsers is pretty much current generation so most older browsers won't handle an xml page. If you haven't already, see: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_browsers.asp If you want to learn a bit more about possible ways to deal with IE, http://www.positioniseverything.net , is always a good start. The IE section explains what IE does very clearly. It also offers a number of hacks. Keep in mind that the hacks may or may not work with IE7. There are other perfectly valid ways to handle many of the problems without the hacks. Be forewarned some of those ways will raise accusations of sinful if not outrightly perverted syntax, even though the syntax is perfectly valid -- divitis and excessive markup. Good luck with the update. drew ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
