If you want an attribute on the attribute, you write: > > <element <att <att-of-att>subvalue</att-of-att>>val</att>> ... This might be the right time to note that the iHTML server-side scripting package operates in exactly that manner. An actual scrap of code (from my site) looks like: <iSET sbit=`<iRANDOM dbname="gotc" table="SQLcode">`> The main bugaboo in using this structure, at least where iHTML is concerned, concerns quotes. The above works fine, because the back-sq's (a) properly contain the unparsed iRANDOM tag and (b) do not appear in the data which replaces that tag. However, this can get really nasty if you're not careful; it helps if you actually break down the recursion into successive statements. Rev. Robert L.
