The spec makes mention of viewers having to support 3.2, but it specifically states that localization is supported as required by HTML 4.0. And the JHUG mentions some limitations of parameters and things in order to be in compliance with HTML 4.0. So you might want to make sure you've got the latest release and look through both the spec and JHUG. I also saw mention in the spec of the ability to use alternate viewers that will use the JEditorPane, which I'm pretty certain can do HTML 4 content. = Steve = -- Steve W.
