I suppose if I had written that part of the page on a different day in a different mood I might have used the solution you proposed, though that would have in no way made the page any more useful to anyone in any way I can see. I could have used one of those cool Valid XHTML logos to eat a little more bandwidth I suppose. :-) I do think, though, that quoteoftheday is a more accurate description of what's contained therein than a div element is. The class attribute is a nasty, ugly hack, designed to get around the inextensible nature of HTML. Inventing new markup to describe new things has more of the XML nature than changing attribute values does. For what it's worth, at one point I did experiment with extending the XHTML DTD through its defined extension mechanisms to include my quoteoftheday and today elements, so the page would be valid as well as well-formed. Unfortunately, that severely confused pretty much all browsers so I was not able to stick with that. Simple, invalid but well-formed markup seems to work well though. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@m...
