Your XSLT processor is serializing the character as — which is legal in HTML but Netscape doesn't like it. This is a bug in Netscape. Versions prior to 6 don't recognize the entities corresponding to characters over 255. Netscape should accept — instead, but you have no way of forcing your XSLT processor to serialize em dash characters that way. Go to http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/demos/ent4_frame.html and in the left frame choose "em dash" to jump to that point in the right frame to test your browser & font combinations. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
