Could you give any examples of xhtml that makes IE choke, as I haven't come across any at this stage ? First we need to sort out what you mean by "dominant browser", though for the sake of argument we can say it's "IE". I doubt you'll find any unflawed statistics to support it. Secondly, Internet Explorer does not support XHTML as has been pointed out. It treats what it gets as broken HTML. If you send, as you should, a content-type that identifies the content as XHTML, then IE will not be able to handle it. You can easily test this for yourself by setting your web server to return application/xhtml+xml for all your XHTML documents; then trying IE on the result. There are several hacks around it, but they remain hacks. -- - Tina Holmboe Please be neighbourly and use traditional signature, quotation and line length standards. Thankyou.
