If the problem was indeed due to a BOM then the answer *is* to fix the browser. Windows 2000 and XP have shipped onto a gazillion machines and a lot of people make quick spot changes to HTML pages in notepad. The BOM is here and any browser that cannot handle not showing either a BOM or a ZBNBSP can be classed as a dumb one. But I am not convinced at the report, to tell you the truth. What kind of a bug could possibly make a BOM become a Euro? Except for the bandwidth that gets sucked up in these conversations that some ISPs make money off of, that is. <grin> > I also personally belive that any browser should fix the small mistakes > made by the author (or the authoring software) in some way or other, but > isn't it better for the author not to make the mistake, or fix it when one > finds about it? Not really, not in this case. Because if you do not want it to be a BOM then its a ZWNBSP. And its out there on the internet. A browser cannot bury its head in the sand, and making it "illegal" will not change anything at all except make more browsers non-conformant. MichKa
