XML != HTML although XML ~= XHTML. if you're document is an XHTML document then u may stand a chance. XML != HTML because these sorts of things in HTML: <form name=womblemeister> </form> <br> <input type=button> .. etc is perfectly valid where as in XML it definately isn't. Granted if you made your html xml complient you may be able to but it wont work for web pages u havent created yourself. Such is the world of the web im afraid. m Upvote 0 Downvote
