I know, full of questions, but I am trying to see if I can get a parser up and going, and I would like to get just a little mode understanding than just authoring... Its known that many tags either don't have a closing tag or can be closed automatically... Some parts of the specification state that a closing tag is required... but I ask that in case of such a closing tag error, is it correct to recover by closing such tags: <P><FONT>Hello There</P> Would it be advisable to just close the <FONT> tag down at the </P>, or, in the case of validation, would it be better to suggest the author to correct such sequences? (excluding buggy browsers) As such, is it incorrect that MSIE fails on the following? <HEAD> <STYLE> blah blah style here </HEAD> I just read over the specification, which states that CDATA ends at the occurance of the closing tag or those tags of in which it is nested ... MSIE instead displays a blank page because it never ran into a closing </STYLE> ... what do you think? -|- Carl Morris (N0YUV) -|- 1:285/302 -|- msftrncs@htcnet.com -|- -|- Hooper Connections BBS -|- 1-(402)-654-2102 -|- 28.8kbps V.34 -|- -|- http://199.120.83.179/~moreese/ -|-
