Peters > I've not had a look at DOMDocument myself, having only used DomDocument before (there's a slight difference in the capitalisation of the 2nd and 3rd letters which made it a pain in the proverbial to work with at first!) but I would assume that if it might offer a method by which you could specify certain self closing tags. This would be necessary at least internally, to differentiate between things like <param/> which can be self closing and <script> which can't (even though the latter might only be referencing an external .js file and have no inline code!) If not, then I'd do a file find on the code for any files containing the text 'param' for example, to see if that leads you to the right place. You may have problems doing this on a Windows XP system, as I believe the search function in that OS has some weird behavior with text files that it recognises as being scripts based on the file extension. I know it does that for asp files, but not too sure with php ones. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
