The problem is that people like you come to the wrong conclusion that obselete code is still fine to use and there is no reason at all to use newer techniques for new websites. > Odd though: The OP /must/ write perfect HTML, even though there is no need > for that as all browsers still support non-perfection too. To me that > sounds like a waste of time and money ... No, there is need for this. Because you can not make sure, that *all* browsers including *future* version will support the invalid code the same way. But I guess, doing constant compatibility testing with all new browser versions to make sure that invalid HTML will be displayed as intended is not a waste of time and money for you.
