Hi Ilya, http://www.xemacs.org serves validated XHTML 1.0, as stated in the footer of every page (try out that link, to keep xemacs.org honest). The line you quote makes the page valid xml 1.0 as well. Please sepcify the exact browser versions that can't cope with this. I don't recall report about this. Ilya> If some html specification explicitly requires such a Ilya> construct to be processed and hidden from user, please tell, Ilya> which one, so that one could file a bug report against such Ilya> a specification to browser maintainer. The validator page, e.g. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xemacs.org%2FDownload%... has a XHTML 1.0 link which takes you right to http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/ which would be the standard to refer to. Hope this helps, Adrian Ilya> If there is no such specification, please fix your html Ilya> generator (or bug its maintainer). -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
