This is so off topic, I'm sorry, but the repeated accusations are hard not to respond to.

Your question is why I'm not writing my website in html 3.2? That wasn't sarcasm? Because in 1997, 14 years ago, the W3C, which created HTML 3.2, recommended that people stop using it. My website only requires standards in effect since January 26 2000, 11 years ago. Why are you using a browser that can't handle 11 year old standards? Specifically, the requirement to serve XML as "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml", introduced with XHTML 1.0. And this isn't a "won't render pretty" if you don't support it standard. MSIE prior to version 9 will ask if you want to save it to a file and not even bother trying display the page. There was a time when I wrote HTML in the oldest standard I could. HTML 2.0 when I didn't need to use tables. But then it finally sunk in that old HTML standards weren't some kind of base on which new standards were built. They are crufty old garbage that needs to be eliminated and replaced with the current standards. Just like you wouldn't think it was a great idea to build a new house using 100 year old building codes. -- "We will be dead soon. Is this how we want to live?" http://www.ChaosReigns.com
