Oops, good point, display:none might cause problems for COinS using user-agents that count on inserting content into the span and having it be visible. Perhaps user-agents should be changed to change the style, removing display:none if it's there, maybe that should be reccommended best practi

Ah, thanks Godmar and Thomas. The empty span is probably the key. I don't always use empty spans for COinS. For instance, the Code4Lib Journal, we put a link inside the span that takes you to a page that says "If you had LibX installed, you'd get useful functionality here instead of this link."

Right, one note on that: http://ocoins.info/#id3205609416 What I was more referring to was this behavior occurring w/r/t to COinS/unAPI. 1) Is this really happening? 2) Wouldn't this be an implementation issue? -Ross. On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 10:49 AM, Thomas Dowling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
