They are not part of any XHTML DTD, so the validator is correct in calling them invalid.

Whether they are `excellent' or not is not relevant to the fact that they are not (X)HTML -- and will not work with any standards-compliant browser, only with Microsoft's proprietary software. What you `should' do is a personal choice, but I would urge you to give up on proprietary markup, not on validity and standards compliance. -- Thanasis Kinias Web Developer, Information Technology Graduate Student, Department of History Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.

XHTML > 2.0 is not far away Be aware, though, that if you need to support legacy browsers XHTML 1.1 will pose problems, because it has eliminated the `name' attribute on <a> elements. NS4 cannot hit `id' targets, so links to such anchors will break. -- Thanasis Kinias Web Developer, Information Technology Graduate Student, Department of History Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.

Not working code validates

Hi, one little problem - validator validates these pieces of code as valid, while they do not work: 1) <div align="CENTER"<a href="http://www.hotelwenus.pl">www.hotelwenus.pl</a></div> Mind the missing > after CENTER" 2) similar example of missing closing > for href="mapa980.jpg" <a href="mapa980.jpg"<img src="mapa295.jpg" width=295 height=350 alt="some text " title="some text"></a> -- Romek Posted with Opera NewsReader v 3.61 - Xmas release Run under Windows 3.11 PL win32s 1.30.172 ASUS mboard, 486Dx4 AMD, 133 MHz, 24 MB RAM

validating TDC in XHTML

Dear Sirs,   Apparently, the XHTM validator doesn't accept TDC (tabular data control) attributes used for TABLE tags such as TD.   Should I give up on XHTML or did I do something wrong ?   My URL is the following:   http://users.pandora.be/tree/wrecksite/html/search/by_name.html     Many thanks for helping me out.     Jan Lettens   PS: I have really tried all kind of groups, but TDC is very little known, although an excellent DHTML object from MSFT.
