Replace "&" with "&" That said, why are you writing new pages as Transitional?

XHTML does not permit 'empty' elements, so all tags must have a matching closing tag. The <element /> syntax is a short version of <element></element>. > the strict means strict HTML 4.01 > standard, while loose means deprecated stuff is ok? Basically, although I seem to remember being corrected here (or in ciwah) when I made that assumption long ago, as it isn't quite accurate.

"loose" is Transitional, which, as the word implies, is for 'transitioning' old legacy documents without needing to remove (most) presentational markup from the HTML. New documents should all be Strict, and use CSS for presentation. Also, it does make the markup a lot easier to maintain. Signature-bts -Motorcycles defy gravity; cars just suck Beauregard T.
