The Validator just checks against those standards. What happens in your example in HTML is that the <ul> implicitly forces closed the <p>. Then the text after the </ul> is `naked' (i.e., a direct child of <body> or whatever the <p>'s parent was), and stray </p> would be an error. In XHTML, of course, elements can't be implicitly closed, so the <ul> is itself an error. If you want the visual appearance of the <ul> being a part of the <p>, try using CSS to close up the vertical margins between the <ul> and the preceding and following <p> elements. -- Thanasis Kinias Doctoral Student, Department of History Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.
