Ned,

I'm lost (which isn't unusual ) Did someone post about eBay HTML and Java restrictions?

Judy/blue

I did.

As I start working with HTML in AW2K, I'm finding things that may be of interest to others.

Ned,

Got it. I'm slow tonight

Yes eBay does have their own list of restrictions when using HTML or Java. Overstock has a list as well. You can't even have a background image outside of the Frame at Overstock. I guess each site has their own list of do's and don'ts.

But even with the restrictions, you can still build a really nice HTML listing template. Especially if you know what you are doing
