DHTML and SHTML aren't new forms of HTML. DHTML is Dynamic HTML. still HTML, just built dynamically with CGI, Scripts, SSI, etc. SHTML is an HTML page that uses a SSI, whether that SSI is another static HTML section or HTML created by CGI. Both are still HTML. No new tags or anything to worry about. Bradley V.
