Sorry, I have 5 browser on my machine, and they all rending sites virtually identically, in spite of the few nuisances encountered by the validater. A perfect example in this case is, again, my web site. At www.fitnessforlife.com I use transparent.gif's a lot. I use mo alt= tag for them.
I have yet to come across a browser that gives a tinkers toss whether or not the alt tags are in place. Another example is the use of <br> tags and how I choose to use them..in this case, outside <li> tags. The validater says I cannot have the break tags where I have them, but changing their placement does nothing to the display of the page. I could site other examples, but thats enough :) Garth Wallace wrote: > T Carr wrote: > >>Christopher Jahn wrote: >> >> >>>And it came to pass that T Carr wrote: >>> >>> >>>>You need to view the Art Bell Site in IE 6.x or Opera.
