yes, so you still run your code through the validator and make sure it only fails on the ARIA attributes - that way you save yourself a whole lot of trouble. I don't really understand inserting attributes with javascript just so you get a tick from the validator? Maybe I'm missing something but what benefit does that bring? And validators will catch up at some point anyway. -- Chris Knowles ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
