IE is actually quite funny when you need to script against the VML object model. If you use elements such as v:fill inside a v:shape and set @color on it and then serialize it you will notice that the color attribute magically has moved from the v:fill element to the v:shape element (which is the parent of v:fill). It does so to a lot of attributes on a lot of child elements and I can't really say I'm particularly fond of it ;). You could say I have learned the hard way not to trust the IE HTML/"XML" engine at all (although MSXML works mostly perfect for my needs in the browser but that is another story). /Marcus
