yes... i know. i forgot to put them in. its an interesting bug.. or
feature. but, about the fonttag being around the form text/list boxes
and netscape and the boxes showing up in that font. IE doesnt do this, i
thought it had to be CSS to get it to do it. is it a W3C thing. i cant
find it if it is. because i know that NN and IE dont stick to the w3c
standard and so its hard to tell what is the standard and what isnt. if
any of that made sence.

You need to inclose your forms with form tags.  They are required.

Hello,
 i forgot to put a form tag into a page, and i viewed it in IE and the
dropdown list menues were drop down list menues. but, in Netscape they
were text. the text inside the list menue was in a collumn. ... i put a
font tag around the list boxes and netscape displays the text inside
them as the specified font (only if ive got the form tag there otherwise
its just text in a collumn (no list box in sight)).

is it supposed to do this? ive looked at the w3c site and couldnt find
anything. its a nightmare site get around in in places.

thankyou. take care.
