You read the documentation.

Seems to be tons of "depreciated code" in vb3.07 and it is brand new.... I guess it all depends on what is defined as "depreciated"......

No question is ever stupid if you don't know the answer.

I apologize if I made you feel that way or uncomfortable for any reason. That was not the intention of my posts.

Stock 3.0.7 does not use deprecated code that I know of as defined by the XHTML 1.0 Transitional specification.

vb is valid ... it's the additional code that people add that is not valid ...
right now, the only thing that does not validate XHTML on a default vb install is the archive section

With HTML, so many developers were writing sloppy code ... which is why W3C came out with XHTML.

It is a bridge to what is coming.

Think of XHTML as a learning curve ... 'cause the next big thing is XML.
With XML, you need to code properly. Coding problems in XML will occur in a 'blank state' (error).

Learning the basics of XHTML (deprecated codes / nesting / etc) will prepare you for the next step.

Thanks for the help...all set

XHTML was created to get everyone prepared for the next step ... that is all.
XHTML is not better than HTML it is just semantically correct.

Here's some more info...
Now, and in the future, there will be appliances (technology) that can browse the web ... this includes every household appliance in the house, pdas, even your watch, etc. (NOTE: Some of this stuff already exists.)

To make the content properly display on these appliances there has to be a set of rules. In the early days, there was no rules so browsers forgave all errors and displayed content as it thought it should be displayed--IE still does this.

Anyway, the modern browser engines will have to be smaller/compact to fit in these new appliances -- there will be no guess work on the part of the new engines. It will either display (no error) or not display (error exist).

XML will make this happen.
Your language file in the vb install file is XML -- and, if you know your stuff you can style that file.

Right now there are many sites that run and display content with XML at some scale ... the big sites--AMAZON, YAHOO, GOOGLE all use XML.

It's the next big thing. :up:

372: 	<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="99%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
 373: 	<tr align="center">	
 374: 
 375: <!-- Forum link in navbar non drop down menu -->
 376: 		<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.talkandmore.net/local_links.php?amp;">Links and Downloads</a></td>
 377: <!-- / Forum link in navbar non drop down menu -->
 378: 
 379: <script type="text/javascript">
 380: <!--
 381: 
 382: function OpenvBChat(){
 383: vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?amp;','vBChat','directories=no,height='+window.screen.height+',width='+window.screen.width+',location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no')
 384: 
 385: return false;
 386: }
 387: 
 388: -->
 389: </script>
 390: <td class="

move the javascript above the table or within the cell and it will pass ...
you cannot have anything between cells

</td>{nothing here}<td>

again, here's the same problem

vBChat</a></td></div>
<td

Anyway, if you want me to fix your html contact me -- no I will not charge you for this. This is a 1 minute fix.
