Exactly right Thomas! Web designers should not be reliant on non-standard code.

My only hope is that NEtscape gets to a point were it is stable and supports all the standard code and the same with IE.

A users selection of a browser should be based on what he or she preferes in over-all look and feel as a GUI program. and not in which supporst the most widely used non-standard code.

but that would be a fairytale land for web designers....
