Actually, this page is what made me _start_ scratching my head...If I hadn't seen it, how would I known to ask about the lang attribute? :-) So let me better explain myself. In reading it before I made the assumption that lang was to specify the language for the page like this: <html:html lang="en">, and if I wanted the same functionality as before I needed to do something like <html:html lang="<%=language%>">. In reading it now, I'm gathering that's not the case :-), but anyway I figured I'd find the answer by experimenting a little... And <drum roll>...without specifying Locale OR Lang, it displayed in Russian like a champ when I told IE6 to make Russian the primary language it looked for! I was thusly inspired to post my question: Since it worked without specifying it, what does this tag really do for me? Under what circumstances do I really need to have this type of thing specified? -Joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
