However if you change the DOCTYPE to the XHTML standard (!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";) and code your page for XHTML compatibility then your code will be compatible.
You could also look at HTML Tidy <http://tidy.sourceforge.net/> which can translate HTML into XHTML. It is a very neat tool.
Another good resource is The Web Standards Project http://www.webstandards.org/ for XHTML etc.

Thanks Gerry, Unfortunately that validator doesn't say if the URL tested is "XHTML compatible". I know the page I tested is not because of things like <br> instead of <br /> If anyone knows of anything that checks XHTML compatibility, PLEASE post. Since most if not all of the most frequent postees here have websites, I'm sure we could all use it. :) -ClintGod Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald E.

Netscape (Mozilla, AOL) always change to support W3 standards. You can always find what works and what doesn't work by running your pages through W3 validation service.
