I received the following remark and link about a site I will have to care of. What do you think about the idea of going back to HTML 4.01 because XHTML 1.0 is delivered as text/html ? Replace this <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> with this <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> XHTML is actually not supported by IE. The way you have it now works (you send it as text/html, and browsers handle it as such), but it defeats the purpose of XHTML and could cause problems in the future (see http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml) -- Vincent François Consultation Boréale vincent@consultation-boreale.com http://consultation-boreale.com _______________________________________________ Public-w3qc.org mailing list Public-w3qc.org@lists.w3qc.org http://lists.w3qc.org/listinfo.cgi/public-w3qc.org -- Vincent François Consultation Boréale vincent@consultation-boreale.com http://consultation-boreale.com
