> What's before <head> ? is there the <!doctype> and <html> or not? [DJW:] Neither html nor head are required. DOCTYPE is required by the validator, and it defaults pragmatically rather than correctly, if it is missing. It is not required for HTML version 2.0 and earlier, but such versions don't have meta elements! This is close to the minimum valid HTML 4 strict document: ----------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <title></title><p> ----------------- [DJW:] This is too heavily cross-posted to reply on all lists. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
