This is one of the primary reasons I'd like to see an optionaltag for an item -- my drill-down user interface works best when there's a single point of entry into an item.<p> In instances where the content is a paragraph with two embedded links, I have to make an arbitrary decision as to what to show people at the top level of this item. <p> Do I show them the first n words of the item? Do I show them just the links?<p> If there's a <title> tag for me to read, I can use that. If there isn't, I still have to make the arbitrary decision, but at least when it's there the choice has been made by the content creator, not my dumb program.... <br><br> <br><br><hr>This page was archived on 6/13/2001; 4:50:54 PM.<br><br>© Copyright 1998-2001 <a href="http://www.userland.com/">UserLand Software</a>, Inc. </blockquote></blockquote> </body> </html>
