I don't doubt for a moment that if your friend has worked on the QA team for IE *lately* that standards have been their highest concern. That's because they (Microsoft) have the worst of all possible bad reps in the developer community for non-adherence to standards. The worst were their... uh...creative implementations of Java and Javascript, but it extends pretty much across the board as I hear it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
