Caveat: This seems to be an IE issue, not an HTML issue. Why ? I checked the top 8 and bottom 4 sites on that list using the W3C validator and not a single one would validate. Quite a few generate hundreds of errors and warnings. Moral of the story ? Relying on quirks of a specific implementation is a bad idea. To turn that into a "HTML needs version numbers" (to accomodate exactly this behaviour) is more than a stretch. Cheers, -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
