"<pre>" and "<code>" are meta-tags, intended to indicate the type of content surrounded by the tags. How they are rendered is *entirely* up to the user agent. For example, instead of being rendered in a monospaced font on screen, they could perfectly well be rendered in a synthesised voice reminiscent of the "HAL" computer in 2001. Or they could be rendered by double-striking the pins of the display. Oh, you were talking about *VISUAL* display. In graphical user interfaces where there are a variety of fonts and character spacings available? With or without colour? The specifications of how HTML *should* (important word that!) be rendered are drawn up *much* more widely than the narrow world of the WIMPs interface that you seem to be referring to. Which is a mistake that many web designers repeat dozens of times per hour. A useful test for all issues like this is : "how would the HTML code I am generating appear on a typewriter terminal?" No variations of character weight, spacing or font; and possibly no underlining or colour changes either. That'll give you a good handle into thinking how it would look in a Braille display too. And by then you'll be differentiating between the content that you're putting forward and the display of that content, which are (generally) two completely separate things. <QUOTE>"The power of the Web is in its universality.

Its not that. Its animated by holding the page down button on notepad, win32pad or similar. To get it to work you often have to tweak the page spacing by a line or so, depending on what text editor youre using, and you cant do that on a webpage - or I dont know how to anyway. I shall mail it out for a test play. NT

I remember seeing something on javascript source once that had a 'cheerleader' doing a cartwheel in a <textarea>. Perhaps if you could find code along that line, you'd be set. (this could also be the solution to the mozilla/asciimator issue).

Of course the "web designer" above tests their page in IE and maybe if you are lucky Netscape. > <QUOTE>"The power of the Web is in its universality.
