They get the outputted HTML just like a user in a standard browser. Also, for Google, meta tags don't carry as much weight as having good headings and relevant content. In fact, I have heard that having excessive meta keyword tags will actually hurt your Google ranking rather than help it. -Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
