(When answering, please send me a copy as I am not subscribed to the list.) Hi! I recently tried to make my documents, which complied with HTML 4.0 Transitional, as compatible with XHTML 1.0 as possible (whithout switching the DTD yet). So I edited the documents for XML wellformedness. I converted "<HR>" to "<hr />", which was OK for the validator. When changing a "<LINK [...]>" element to "<link [...] />", the HTML-validator started reporting errors. It considers the "</head>" element which follows to be in the wrong context! I believe that my changes do keep the code compatible with SGML/HTML. When looking at the parse-tree, it seemed like the parser had worked correctly, showing <LINK></LINK>. Can you tell me what went wrong? You can find an example page at <URL:http://www.yodanet.schwaebischhall.de/~marc/marc.html>. Marc -- _ _ Marc A.
