No, user agents don't ignore markup that is not specified in the DOCTYPE. It generates (or should) a parse error. Most web sites don't serve XHTML correctly as "application/xhtml+xml" because one browser by a very large US software manufacturer doesn't parse this MIME type. If you want to see examples try: http://www.bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au/~steve/index.htm is text/html and http://www.bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au/~steve/index.xhtml is application/xhtml+xml When using Windows & IE6, for the second link, Windows will try to open the page in another application (usually Dreamweaver if installed). These are both served by Apache from the same directory. -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 .... _ ...
