| I passed this through a parser (WebTechs validation service using the
strict
| HTML 3.2 DTD) and it definetely choked:
|
| <TABLE>
| <TR><P><TD>
| </TABLE>
|
| This is a BIT confusing to me. I understand that the DTD implies no
markup
| between TABLE tags and TR, TD and TH blocks, but WHY?
Yea, confusing huh? I stoped using validators for that purpose... I
would first exclaim that tables were designed by LYNX killers...
NETSCAPE... but since I don't know the history behind tables I can't
say for certian... There is no backwards compatibility with TABLES
themselves ... Also the validators seem to complain about contentless
table cells... nothing said a cell must have content... and from what
I remember, a TR can contain content... but maybe i better read that
part of 3.2 spec first?
| The following validated fine:
|
| <TITLE>Somestring</TITLE>
| <BODY>
| Foobar
| </BODY>
Thats weird... the default mode of HTML 3.2 states thats incorrect, and
that you must use a "relaxed" switch ... maybe WEBTECHS has such as
switch/mode...
It otherwise falls into a P tag with MSIE and NS I beleive...
