Just found out that Web explorer does not recognize the <h4> html tag. I could
not figure out why some lines on my home pages were blank on WebX, but not
on Netscape. All the lines happen to have the <h4> text size tag. I know that
<h1, 2 & 3> work fine on WebX, and <h4, 5, &6> work on Netscape. Is this
a known problem? Any one else notice this prob?

Later =)

As far as I can tell, WebExplorer also doesn't recognize the
<title></title> pair. Text I put between these keywords is not
displayed by WebExplorer on my machine.

Sure it does. Text delimited with <title></title> goes to the
title bar of WE, not to the client area. So the title bar of WE reads
"IBM WebExplorer - The Title of this HTML Page". Incidently, this
is also what is shown in the task list.

Strange. Not having that problem here. Sample file:

=== begin junk.html ===
<html><title>my title</title>
This is default
<p>
<h1>This is h1</h1>
<h2>This is h2</h2>
<h3>This is h3</h3>
<h4>This is h4</h4>
<h5>This is h5</h5>
<h6>This is h6</h6>
<h7>This is h7</h7>
</html>
=== end junk.html ===

I get normal sized text, followed by very large down to small at h6 (h4
works fine too). h7 is the same as h6. If I go to h8 or higher, they are
default. h7 is recognized by WE since it appears on its own line. h8 and
up are not recognized, as they will all appear on the same line (if that
doesn't make sense, try it- then it should).
