Depends on the client and how they'll be maintaining their site; I've handed sites over to clients before who were going to use something like Frontpage or Composer to write bits of content which they would then drop into their page template, and going Transitional can keep them valid where Strict wouldn't. Then there are clients who I'm setting up with a CMS that I can set up to generate content which is always valid in Strict, so I'll use Strict. In other words, there is no hard and fast "always use foo" rule for DOCTYPEs. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
