Re: RFC 288 (v2) First-Class CGI Support

the input focus will jump to the next input on tab, and the tab does not get entered into a field. Netscape on Solaris has this tabbing behavior for text fields, but allows you to enter tabs in text areas.

Re: Extended Regexs

that the regex could be handled by its DFA matcher, all by itself. That would be nice, too, but a modifier would let you ensure that the DFA matcher was being used. You wouldn't have to guess whether a particular construct was DFA-able or not. -- Robert Mathews Software Engineer Excite@Home
