If you want transitional because you want to use <font>, etc., I find it unreasonable. If you want transitional because of things like <ol start='3'>, I sympathize. If you feel that using the strict doctype with transitional syntax is dirty, you could use the HTML5 doctype instead, although I am uncomfortable with recommending the deployment of features from draft specs. http://hsivonen.iki.fi/validator/ allows you to manually decouple the schema from the layout mode switch. Still, the difference of the Almost Standards Mode is more likely to manifest itself in the page template than in the content you put in the template (assuming that sliced images usually are used for template layout rather than copy). >>> <!-- #PRAGMAT mode="Quirks" --> >> (No doctype.) > Can't be validated, hence useless (i.e., not HTML at all). I've always found it intriguing how some people want to validate stuff but deliberately have it render in the quirks mode. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
