I've done web pages professionally, as well as personally, and I've never had any complaints that my pages (which of course all contained the required DTD) didn't work with one type of browser or other. I even used to check my pages with either IE 3.x or 4.x (whichever I might have had access to) and never saw any problem myself. I've read of problems with IE rendering certain W3C compliant pages, but just having the DTD isn't one I've ever heard of. > W3C standards vs. the rich tapestry (or poisoned > mire) of the real Net. Since M$ has a seat on the W3C, and since the standards are designed for the "real net," I don't see any conflict. - Steve
