Yes, I know what the spec says. But if you don't use closing tags in your coding, it's like trying to read a group of sentences without periods at the end. I did say "should" be closed, not "must". Oh, and if you ever have thoughts about advancing to XHTML or HTML 5, you'll have to reinsert all those closing tags you took out. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
