Hallo, why do you use a wrong namespace in the *correct* XHTML version? Read http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#strict You can then read clearly: "The root element of the document must be html [and] ... must contain an xmlns declaration for the XHTML namespace. The namespace for XHTML is defined to be http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml." NOT "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html-in-xml" as you are using in your example. Greetings Christian Schmidt-Guetter

  Quite right -- thanks for catching that. The namespace URI I used in the column *was* at one time the correct one for Transitional XHTML (see, e.g., http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/xhtml-modularization-19990406/DTD/doc/xhtml1-t.html). But that is no longer the case. The correct URI is indeed http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.

  
  Thanks again!
