Rick, I wasn't picking on you or the label tag. But the "pure HTML" comment got to me. <grin />
I see code here from various sources flying around without the attributes quoted (and/or without the attribute value) and mixtures of upper and lower case tags. Let's not even get into the open tags without a close tag or as an empty tag and deprecated elements and attributes! I work in a text editor not a WYSIWYG. But I still take the time to make the code a little cleaner and more 'new school'. The old browsers may ignore the "extra" stuff (<br />), but the new browsers may choke without it. I try to make the HTML (as in standard 4.01) more clean (regardless of using any XHTML stuff). It's easier to read and find mistakes or to find what the browser doesn't like. Just my 3 cents, I've only been HTMLing since Netscape 1.1. :D Beverly On 05/12/2006 9:16 AM, "Rick Sanders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in whole or in part: > > Beverly, > > Please see my other post.
