BTW: why end the base href with '/>', and not simply '>'?
<base> is an empty tag meaning it's only got attributes and no character content. In XML (and I guess HTML 4 too) empty tags are ended with / (like <base .... />) instead of using <base...></base>. In XML the end tags are mandatory. This is for XML and I don't know if the same thing is true for HTML 4, but I guess it is. Funny that the w3c validator doesn't like it. -- Martin Skøtt martin@xenux.dk Xenux Aps - The Linux People
