Hi Ben, cynical/suspicious about what suppliers claim in the pre-signoff phase > I agree - that's why I questioned it. With my internal clients a little naive displaying this long list of 'pieces of functionality' broken down it conveys the impression that there's a lot of 'extra' work involved.
To see this exact billable function in action check out: http://www.kbb.co.uk/intkbb08/ scroll to the footer where you'll see 'Text only version' which then takes you to: http://www.kbb.co.uk/cgi-events/betsie.pl I'm quering whether: a) it should appear on the breakdown in the pricing quote and b) whether this is actually good web standards practice (or outdated with little value) Thanks again, -- Rob 2008/11/21 Ben Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Do you think it's a service I should be paying for?
