The serialiser has no concept of <a></a> or <a/>, only that 'element <a> is empty'. It then decides how to output that element to the result tree based on the output method. Now that I can see that clearly in my mind, I can understand what you were getting at with the <br></br> issue, and why a 'minimisation switch' isnt simply a case of saying 'dont minimise'... :) cheers david, got there in the end. andrew --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
