That the validator doesn't handle this is not an error in the validator but simply a limitation of strict DTD based validation. > How, pray tell, did you come up with these errors? These were generated by BBEdit's "syntax checker". While not a DTD based validator, it is based on rules derived from the W3C DTD's with additional symatics to deal with checking content of attribute values. -- Christian Smith | csmith@barebones.com | http://web.barebones.com PGP Fingerprint - 60E5 2216 97D2 1D1A B923 F036 00A9 CEC0 D411 FA89
