My suggestion would be to just write HTML which conforms to a standard. For instance, the main page at your Web site `www.thought.org' declares its DOCTYPE as W3C HTML 4.01 Transitional, but validating it at http://validator.w3.org/ against that standard produces several errors. If all those errors are fixed, your pages will be rendered properly by all browsers that support these standards, see, e.g., http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign3.html http://browsehappy.com/browsers/ As for editors, I suggest Emacs with PSGML mode (editors/psgml). Rather than depending on the validator at W3C, you can install textproc/opensp, and use onsgmls(1) to validate your HTML documents without traversing the Internet, with something like onsgmls -c ~/catalog -egsu foo.html HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.
