No, it isn't. At all. They're not exactly text processors either: our web browsers do a hell of a huge work sorting the mistakes web developpers make. Web browsers do a hell of a gigantic work, to be precise, that can't be summed up as "slurping tags". [quote] let's add that the browsers not necessarily use the "real and official" DTDs of the W3C. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that's what I've been talking abou whole the time. [/quote] Well, while browsers do not always use the official dtd, if you specifiy one, your code will be parsed as close as possible to that definition. So there is a world between saying "Well, I don't know a browser that doesn't ignore the DTD" and the actual work browsers perform based on dtds. While you can't prevent your browser from failing to comply with standards, adding and using a correct doctype definition REALLY matters. Oh, and I am afraid your racism against dtds invalidates any proposal I made before :) So no, we won't marry methinks. Loading...
