| I passed this through a parser (WebTechs validation service using the strict | HTML 3.2 DTD) and it definetely choked: | | <TABLE> | <TR><P><TD> | </TABLE> | | This is a BIT confusing to me. I understand that the DTD implies no markup | between TABLE tags and TR, TD and TH blocks, but WHY? Yea, confusing huh? I stoped using validators for that purpose... I would first exclaim that tables were designed by LYNX killers... NETSCAPE... but since I don't know the history behind tables I can't say for certian... There is no backwards compatibility with TABLES themselves ... Also the validators seem to complain about contentless table cells... nothing said a cell must have content... and from what I remember, a TR can contain content... but maybe i better read that part of 3.2 spec first? | The following validated fine: | | <TITLE>Somestring</TITLE> | <BODY> | Foobar | </BODY> Thats weird... the default mode of HTML 3.2 states thats incorrect, and that you must use a "relaxed" switch ... maybe WEBTECHS has such as switch/mode... It otherwise falls into a P tag with MSIE and NS I beleive...
