Hello All, I coded <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de"> as valid XHTML 1.1 requires. But updated Bobby says: "accessibility error" , do this: The HTML element at the beginning of each page should use the HTML 4.0 "lang" attribute to help specify the main language of the text on the page, such as English, French, German, Japanese, etc. <HTML lang="fr"> <HEAD> <TITLE>Un document multilingue</TITLE> </HEAD> The value of the LANG attribute must be set to one of the ISO 639 language codes Did I do something wrong? Or is Bobby not really updated to the latest specs? I thought XHTML 1.1 requires the tag xml:lang=".." to specify the language of the document. Does anybody have thoughts about it? Thanks in advance Greetings Ineke van der Maat
