Hello. There's been a lot of arguments for and against XHTML on this list lately, but I'd like to tell you about something that happened to me. I just converted my personal web site from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 1.0 and everything worked fine on my computer. Then, I uploaded the pages and validated them (they all validated). Then, I started Internet Explorer 5 and went to my site. I clicked on a link, that's when the browser crashed. I repeated the test- it happened again. I tried it on Netscape- it looked Netscapish (ie, terrible), but didn't crash. My analysis, Internet Explorer 5 is not compatible with XHTML 1.0. I've read that IE 4.5 for Macintosh has serious problems with XHTML, but I had no idea the fairly good IE 5 for Windows would crash. Comments and workarounds appreciated.
