Re: Re: sloppiness & stupidity

I don't know what validator you're using, but according to http://validator.w3.org/ (as official as it gets) the following fragment is correct in HTML 4.01, HTML 5, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and XHTML 1.1: <select> <option selected="selected">test</option> </select> Thus sayeth the W3C, so let it be written, so let it be done. Go read a tutorial on the transition to XHTML as well as XML. 2009/6/17 PJ <af.gourmet@videotron.ca>: > Nisse Engström wrote: >> On Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:18:09 +0100, "Ford, Mike" wrote: >> >> >>> This is very true -- but XHTML requires *all* attributes to have a >>> value, so an XHTML conformant page will use <select multiple="multiple" >>> name="selector"> (or something similar such as <select >>> multiple="yes" >>> name="selector">).
