If it helps with WinIE compatibility, I have no real objection to adding the property. I do find it unfortunate that Microsoft implemented this feature as a CSS property though. I think it should have been done as an extension to HTML instead. Turning off CSS shouldn't break the author's IME intent. dave (hy...@apple.com) _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
