It shouldn't; you're almost certainly seeing something that assembled on the fly from stored information in a server using a content management system. This tends to produce a whole lot more stuff than is actually required to display the web page, because there's almost no incentive to produce clean HTML markup for the web if the production is automated. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
