Personally I think it's easier to write in XHTML because it's tidier. I don't have to bother remembering which elements need to be closed, because they all do. I don't have to worry about an untidy mix of <UPPER CASE>, <lower case> and <Mixed Case> tags, because they all have to be lower case. I don't need to care about whether a particular attribute needs quote marks around it or not... because I can be sure that it does. It's a much more symmetrical and consistant markup language, so (in my book) is much easier to use. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS E-mail: tobyink@goddamn.co.uk PGP: http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/node.cgi?id=12 Web Page: http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/ IM: AIM:inka80 ICQ:6622880 YIM:tobyink Jabber:tobyink@a-message.de Being a BALD HERO is almost as FESTIVE as a TATTOOED KNOCKWURST.
