Well we don't need to complain about standards compliance per-say... Firefox could simply complain that "the designer has made the site incorrectly and that it may be error prone and hence unsafe to use" or something to that effect. 'Hall of Shame' really doesn't make much difference to most website designers. Perhaps a browser that can put up with their crap as well as educate users about their ineptness may change things a bit. That said, most designes also tend to get away with it by saying, "Don't worry, the site is perfectly fine. It seems to be a bug in Firefox. See, it works fine in IE". So in that case, it could be a not-so-good idea to support the crap... -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
