Yeah, that's most probably what it is. This book though (HTML 4 for Dummies,
2nd Edition) definitely says that HTML is case-sensitive. Strange. I always
used to write HTML with everything that was 'tagged' in caps, like <IMG
SRC="arse.gif" WIDTH=23 HEIGHT=89 BORDER=238> etc. but I've stopped now. It
looks better as well :-)

Are there any books about XML yet? or XHTML for whatever it's called ;-) I
wouldn't mind getting a head start ;-)
