HELP! Doc Save as Html Web Page George 23.08.2006 01:38:02 Dear all, I would like to ask, in Office 2000, when i save a document as "Html Web Page", i would get lots of xml tags in the html source. Some of the source is Vector Markup Language, just wondering what is VML. And what is the meaning of the following tags: 1. <!--[if gte vml 1]> 2. <![if !vml]> 3. Where is variable 'vml' defined in the Html Source? Thanks you very much Regards, George

Where is variable 'vml' defined in the Html Source? It's complete and utter garbage, and some of it isn't even XML or SGML. It's rubbish put in by the exporting program so that the file can be re-loaded into Office and be handled just as if it had been .doc or .xls None of it is HTML, and it makes the file completely unusable in a standard HTML, XML, or SGML context. Browsers usually ignore it all. The best thing to do is strip it out entirely, and stop using Office as a method of creating HTML. ///Peter -- XML FAQ: http://xml.silmaril.ie/
