Second, I don't think any browser that is capable of supporting jscript does not support it if you add type="text/javascript" - but some browsers may fail to recognize the content if you use any other value. Incidentally, text/javascript is incorrect by Internet protocols (MIME RFCs), but the Web makes its own rules. :-) Moreover, that's not about validation. You have asked a program to verify whether your document complies with the formal syntax that it claims to conform to, in its <!DOCTYPE> declaration. And the validator did just that. It takes no position to the adequacy of the syntax from some practical standpoint. Contrary to much propaganda around, validity does not imply that your page would be processed by browsers as you like. > my site: www.nicklaus-net.de/zimmer.html Did you actually try it using valid markup? Besides, it your navigation relies on client-side scripting, the design is poor anyway, and surely violates W3C recommendations such as WAI guidelines. That's a _functional_ problem. So why bother with a tiny detail like not using an attribute required by W3C DTDs, with no known practical impact? -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
