That is really pitiful. No wonder there is so much sloppy coding on the Web.
I don't have Opera, but does anyone know how strict it is?
BTW, this morning http://www.sprocketsandcogs.com/ fixed their background color, it is now black. But they did it be simply taking out the second duplicate <body> tag. So now the start of their homepage source looks like this:
<body bgcolor=black vlink=red link=red alink=red text=white>
<font FACE="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2>
<title>Sprockets and Cogs - Truly Targeted Technical Search Tool</title>
Still no <html>, no <head>, and the <body> tag above the <title>. I am also amused that all the link colors are the same.
Who are these guys? They need to get a clue.
