We need to close our <P> tags before we validate!
Only for XHTML, and we aren't there yet. The pages should
validate as HTML 4.0 Transitional now, modulo any bugs that
may have been introduced since I last did that (I know of
one I'm working on).
I don't believe closing your <p> tags violates 4.01, and it moves us
closer to XHTML. As such, it seems like a damned good idea to me. :)
What annoys me more is how ugly our HTML looks. I'll admit; ugly HTML
is not wrong, but it is pretty distasteful. Kind of like playing gothic
rock at a funeral. :P Could we settle on a standard look for our HTML?
I see things like this all the time (pulled out of rabbit):
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> (capitalization suckiness)
<a href="....." class='internal'> (mixed quotes)
#quickbar a.new { color: CC2200; ) (invalid, but possibly parsed)
<table width='98%'> border=0 cellspacing=0> (mixed/missing quotes)
Can we just settle upon lowercase tags and double quotes around all
attributes?
