To clarify the <span /> issue I was referring to earlier in this thread: As several list readers and Opera Software's people pointed out I was using the wrong MIME-type for my XHTML document. I was using text/html when application/xhtml+xml would have been appropriate. I guess I should have read the XHTML compatibility guidelines more carefully: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines The interesting thing is that RFC 2854 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2854.txt ) does allow XHTML to be labeled as text/html, but it should be compatible with HTML. "In addition, [XHTML1] defines a profile of use of XHTML which is compatible with HTML 4.01 and which may also be labeled as text/html." It seems Opera uses an HTML parser to parse XHTML labeled as text/html. The XML parser kicks in when the document is labeled as application/xhtml+xml. I'm sorry for all the confusion. I hope this clears things up :) .max -- Max Romantschuk http://max.nma.fi/
