    Default Making Indexu XHTML 1.0 compliant

    Hi,

    I've created a small tutorial to acheive XHTML 1.0 compliance of your indexu site. You can download the zip file. Inside should be a HTML file.

    Have fun

    thanks a million on this! it is awesome!

    just one question. the Transitional allows tables. how long will that be for?

    I noticed you used tables on your site. did you try using div tags?

    A million thanks received in good condition.
    About transitional, as long as you use that DOCTYPE you can use tables forever.

    I didn't try using divs for my indexu site but I've done other sites using divs only.

    And to see how complex sites can be done without tables have a visit at http://www.wired.com/ - it really is amazing.

    Cheers

    thanks for sharing.

    if that site does not use tables, that is freaking unbelieveable.

    For the STRICT you stated "this DOCTYPE you cannot use tables to format your website"

    Can you ever use tables?

    I think the idea is that if you want to use tables just use the transitional doctype.

    Strict, is for people with a lot of time (and not to mention CSS hacking experts).

    About that site, have a look at the source and see if you can find a single table anywhere. Also check out http://www.espn.com/ - i searched the source and found 3 tables only. Amazing too.

    Anyone know why the header.html file in the cp folder repeats the yellow lline 3 times when I input:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    at the top of the file?

    I don't have this problem with the header.html file in the default folder nor the cat_header.html file.
