Part of this recent surge of public interest in css and web standards is due to certain "web pro's" making a name for them self and actually becoming a little bit "famous" and then everyone followed their lead. Listening to what _they_ had to say about web standards and _then_ discovering and understanding the w3c. Visit some of these people's sites. Many are in xhmlt (although there are plenty of reasons to not be using xhtml) and the majority of them explicitly close _every_ tag on their pages. (I haven't actually checked myself but my gut feeling is that I'm right :) It just feels like the right way to do it to me. The "pro" way of doing it. The "don't cut corners you lazy bastard" way of doing it. -- :: thyme online ltd :: po box cb13650 nassau the bahamas :: website: http://www.thymeonline.com/ :: tel: 242 327-1864 fax: 242 377 1038
