An understanding of how things should work will always be better than allowing a validator to make your final decision. At this point, I can say with some confidence that there isn't any program that validates HTML perfectly. It is mostly a matter of little oversights. The humans need to know what they are doing, in other words. A combination of good tools (maybe not even perfect) and an understanding of how to use them properly will always be best. An ignorant user and a good tool will rarely achieve much more than mediocrity. An informed user and a bad or degraded tool has a much better chance. ,David Norris World Wide Web - http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1652/ Illusionary Web - http://illusionary.dyn.ml.org/ <-- 02:00 - 10:00 GMT Video/Audio Phone - callto:illusionary.dyn.ml.org Page via mail - 412039@pager.mirabilis.com ICQ Universal Internet Number - 412039 E-Mail - kg9ae@geocities.com
