The ActiveX components I use are proprietary non-standard technology. Granted. However, the interface to them, HTML, is standard and non-proprietary. Of course, one can use proprietary extensions like namespaces and data sources as well, and sometimes it is necessary for rendering and data management, but the classid attribute has not been the case until (yesterday). Valid code simply makes a better interface overall, which means validating it makes sense. Using IE magic comments causes the validator to skip not only the parts that have been invalidated, such as the classid attribute, but also the parts that would be valid otherwise. If there is error in there, it will go undetected, which is bad. Chris
