The W3C validator is seriously broken with respect to XHTML at this point. It recognises that <P> != <p> but it doesn't flag <P> as an error. Same for all other tags. It doesn't enforce required attributes. This validates: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>bad html</title> </head> <body> <img/> </body> </html> Note the <img> tag which is missing two required attributes. The W3C validator -does- catch this in HTML 4.0 files. It doesn't even catch parent/child conflicts. In the above xhtml <img/> is within <body> and this is an error. This is caught in HTML 4.0 Strict documents. ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
