How so? | all the elements and attributes available in the Transitional DTD have | been deprecated for quite some time They've been deprecated since at least 1999. | their use is also not recommended The use of the presentational features is not recommended in favour of stylesheets. The non-presentational features such as <applet>, <menu>, the langauge attribute, etc. are not recommended in favour of other constructs like <object>, <ul> and the type attribute, respectively. | new versions of (X)HTML have dropped transitional features completely. Neither XHTML 1.1, XHTML 2.0 nor the unnofficial HTML 5 drafts contain the transitional features. Perhaps I could have been a little clearer in indicating that XHTML 1.0 still contains them, though. So, please enlighten me as to how that was an overstatement? -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://GetThunderbird.com/ Reclaim your Inbox
