I know that is likely to get me into trouble as everyone else seems to do it but there it is. That having been said, it can be seen that I do not know the inner workings of Ruby well enough to dig that far inside. However, it cannot be the DOM as the browser uses that to parse. There would have to be some other thing that is making the difference and finding that goes beyond my Ruby knowledge. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
