The confusing part is that the W3C markup validator (or the WDG validator) does not catch this error, while the W3C CSS Validator - which is doing markup validation as a side business - catches it. This is mentioned in its FAQ, http://www.websitedev.de/css/validator-faq , in the discussion under the heading "What does Element type "example" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>" mean?" (The line break inside the title="..." attribute value is valid but not a good idea, since it is handled inconsistently by browsers.) > In CRIMSON EDITOR, all I can see is that in the > associated <a> tag, you have an extra space inbetween the 'a' and the > 'title', The extra space causes no harm technically. > and no space between the end of the title and the 'http' reference. > Maybe the validator is having problems because of that. That's the point. There should be (at least) a space or a line break between attribute specifications (name="value" things). Incidentally, when looking at the source code, I could not help seeing the hack (on lines 11 to 21) that uses * html #header { ... } to deal with problems with MSIE. As far as I've understood, this hack is ineffective for IE 7, which fixed the bug that the root element was considered as a child of something but might not have fixed the bug that the hack is supposed to deal with. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
