Re: HTML 4 and webtv

In a word: Yes.

In more than one word :-) . . . 

WebTV doesn't support any "real" standard fully.

However, 3.2 Wilbur (anyone remember that name? :-) is _currently_ the most
fully supported "advanced" standard out there.

Remember, Micro$oft bought them WebTV. Thus, they feel the world should
change to work with them, not the other way around.

There *are* web TV specific tags/attributes available on the 'net. I'm sure
someone will speak up offering that URL.

Personally (read: *my* opinion),

I have never been able to generate sufficient demographics for web TV users
to warrant writing to those viewers specifically - thus I have never even
tried.

Your mileage may vary.

Seriously, it's that *other* line I preach constantly:

Write to your audience's capabilities. Let your intended viewer
demographics dictate what standard you write to.

HTH,
Fuzzy
