Again, depends on the version of HTML you are programming to, and in our scripts, it's mostly pretty basic. But you are right, it is good style to include it. > 4- I don't understand the <link rev=......> which is within the 'head' > tags. What, if anything does it do and why is it within the 'head' tags? Actually it does belong in the header, and has been in the standard since early days. What it does for Lynx is set a response address for the Comment hotkey - an implicit mailto: for the page. I'm not sure what other browsers do with it - the major graphical ones do nothing. We also use the link rev code in all IP pages, coded to the IP's private editors mailing list, for the same reason (via the Install). On CCN (I haven't looked at a recent distributed system for this) the link line is placed ahead of the <html> and <head> lines, where it should NOT be. > In any case it seems to me that, if this stuff is in the distribution > version of csuite then it should be changed since tens of thousnads of > people will be getting poor examples of html coding. Agreed. Not only that, but if the user applies Weblint to the page, it will generate errors :) > Telnet: victoria.tc.ca Web URL: http://victoria.tc.ca > We now have charitable status and can issue tax receipts Hey David(s): look at that ^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^ Ed Dyer aa146@chebucto.ns.ca (902) H 826-7496 CCN Assistant Postmaster http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~aa146/ W 426-4894 CSuite Technical Workshop Religion Page Editor, Chebucto Community Network http://www.chebucto.ns.ca
