Thanks James, Mark, and Viktor for all the information about the forms! I'm learning so much from this mailing group - it's amazing. I just have a question though. Though I'm fairly certain the label, fieldset, and legend tags would be supported in future versions of XHTML, are they going to (or even currently) support attributes such as "accesskey" or "tabindex"? because accesskey does not seem all that important, and i feel like it is one of the things on its way to deprecation. even the fieldset/legend seems a little shaky. grouping input fields is good i guess, but i fear w3c might even deem that unnecessary.
a lot of things about xhtml has been bothering me, including image maps and flash validation. it's been a while so i forget exactly what the problem was with the image map, but i was using xhtml 1.1 and validation was impossible (something to do with the pound symbol #?) when there were image maps - it was fine with xhtml 1.0. besides that problem, the only way i can get flash to validate is to use the Flash Satay method decribed at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/. does anyone have inside information on the w3c - are they doing to do anything about these issues? reading the w3 mailing list articles (several months ago when i had these problems) did not help very much as they were in constant debate and i could not come to a conclusion forgive me if i seem completely oblivious and ask unnecessary questions. i never fail to repeat - i am no professional in these things. complete newb. thankyou for your patience. ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
