| I cannot see where you got this idea from. A HTML 2.0 browser will | probably display most of a HTML 3.0 document, but it cannot be expected | to respond to markup that hadn't been invented when the HTML 2.0 | browser was written. | | > Its got lots of content, and no its not commented, its CDATA ... | > comments don't exist in CDATA ... only the closing tag of the element | > or its parents... | | But a HTML 2.0 browser will skip over the <style> start-tag because it | doesn't recognise it, and therefore will interpret the comment as such. | Which is the "right" thing to do, IMHO. precisely ... and thats why a 3.2 document will work in a 2.0 browser... | > But I find my self making the EXACT same tag mistake every time I start | > a new page ... always forgetting the closing STYLE... its so easy! | > (and any parser I wrote would be smart enough to end it for me! :) | > [...] the SGML crap... | | Then do what I suggest and use the proper tools. And if you are unable to | learn HTML and/or SGML, then there really isn't anything wrong with working | in another field. Proper tools? Are you making money on HTML editors/validators or something...
