I was validating a page using the Kindler, Gentler Validator (DOCTYPE HTML
4.0) and was told that my use of the PRE element was incorrect because
: document type does not allow element "PRE" here; missing one of
: "OBJECT", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag
I looked through the docs and found no reference to PRE being required to
be within OBJECT, IFRAME or BUTTON elements. What is wrong here? I have
included the source code for your perusal (edited to remove non-essential
content):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>FOO</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#666666" LINK="#006666" VLINK="#006666" BGCOLOR="#CCCCCC">
<P ALIGN=CENTER><SMALL><PRE>
foo
foo
foo
</PRE></SMALL></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
