Tolerance for user friendly options does not accurately describe XHTML over HTML 4.01. Neither doctype has anything to do with using tables for layout either. User friendly options and CSS positioning are always a should do (maybe even a must do) regardless of the doctype at the top. These go beyond standards, into best practice and effective design. </dismount> I think you should use an HTML 4.01 strict doctype. I use them all the time, very reliable and no "gotchas." -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
