They are canards, red herrings, obfuscations, and simply load otherwise useful discussions with flamewar-ready negative connotations. The "proprietary Windows extensions" you talk about could just as easily be called "IE-specific event filtering capabilities", and that would be much closer to the mark. "Standards" are not inherently good all by themselves - witness SAA/CUA or the WEB-INF folder. Whether or not I adhere to some "standard" is a business decision. The reality is that "standards" are no good to me if they don't solve my business goals, and the current DOM standards don't do that. Until there is a consistent framework for filterable, modifiable client-side event handling, then I am stuck with IE, because only IE allows me to do the client-side interaction I need. I am not going to send non-numeric data to the host just because Mozilla is too stupid to allow me to ignore a non-numeric keystroke. Joe
