The problem is that the DTDs for XHTML do not express the rule that one anchor cannot be a descendant of another anchor. I think I read somewhere that XML DTDs cannot express that type of rule. The rule is expressed in the HTML 4.01 DTDs and in the HTML 5 validation rules. -- David Dorward http://dorward.co.uk/
