Of course! But are all my users going to run out and upgrade because some W3C weenie (from their persepctive) told them to? No. In fact, *some* of my users are so economically-challenged that their hardware doesn't support a W3C-compliant browser due to memory constraints. So I'm going to provide backwards-compatible code which: does not break anything for W3C-compliant browsers supports ancient browsers costs almost nothing in CPU time for any reasonable-sized GET/POST Do you want to add to the Digital Divide by not supporting ancient hardware/software, or do you want to only provide web services to the wealthy :-) :-) :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
