Last time I checked, DIV tags work best on IE, and Opera; although Netscape 6 supports them well, i.e. the page in question works well on Netscape 6+. Netscape 4.9 is from the time when DIV tags were only used extensively on "IE only" sites; but now its part of the HTML standard.

I am surprised why the validator doesn't pick this up. If you explicitily select `HTML 4.01 Transistional' from the option box (http://validator.w3.org/), then it shows 12 errors, all to do with URLs of type: "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=vinum&sektion=8" This can be solved by using single quotes e.g: , because the &sektion is thought of as an entity by the parser. Either that, or the validator is broken -- which is very unlikely. On that note, it makes me wonder why we use `sektion' and not 'section'? :-) One more thing, we should encode the document char-set type, so that the validator can work with our documents: Cheers. -- Hiten hiten@unixdaemons.com, hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
