I'm not sure why you referred me to this (http://eastsdomain.com/site/gallery/) page. It validates as both XHTML 1.1 and HTML 4.01 and displays properly in both IE6 and Firefox. On resolutions lower than 1024x768 the thumbnails float under the menu, but that's easily fixed. If it validates, that means it's well formed, right?

With a miminmal amount of PHP effort this is possible, and I have done it on my personal website, and written about it here: http://eastsdomain.com/43.

If you're going to do this you better be damned sure that your markup is kosher. You might want to check out the following link:

If you don't need to serve valid XML, and you can not systematically serve well formed XML documents, then I recommend sticking with a less strict data format (such as XHTML transitional).

XML is a strict data format and, like most, can't reliably be written by hand without some level of QA.

There are many advantages to serving XML but you *have* to do it properly. If you've told the browser you're sending XML and you don't then it's no better than sending it a PDF when it's been told its receiving a ZIP.
