That's the rationale behind the syntax, but maybe it needs to be said that a validator's operation is not based on such statements but on the formal rules alone. In this case, the applicable rule is <!ELEMENT table (caption?, (col*|colgroup*), thead?, tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+))> This implies the the tfoot element, if present, must precede the tbody element. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/Received on Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:06:16 UTC
