This can easily be interpreted as the validator isn't able to handle this problem. Second, within the 'Common HTML Validation Problems document', the sentence 'Authors should avoid using strings such as "</P>"' is completely useless. Either it's forbidden to use such code (which isn't) or the validator has to handle it correctly. > And why are you generating HTML designed around the weaknesses of > mid-1990s browsers and obsolete since 1998? > Sorry the mentioned code is completely valid as far as I know and any browser these days can hanlde it correctly, only the validator can't. So you probably should have written mid-1990 validators. O. Wyss
