It is an arbitrary number representing a 'capability level', that makes it easier for you to show certain HTML to certain browsers with abilities you are interested in.So right now we tend to think of the levels as follows:1: no tables, no frames 2: tables 3: tables + framesBut it's up to you how these are distributed across which browsers. You can also use [showif] combined with [browsername] to decide what to show to certain browsers.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
