Hi Carbonise,

Thanks for your answer. I will take a look at the sites you suggest. Regarding standard text links and JavaScript being on or off, one wonders just how many people actually go into Tools/Internet Options and switch it off. There is a forum on Webproworld on the subject, which I have only browsed through, but it looks interesting.

On doctypes I have read that there are only three basic types, strict, transitional and frameset. If you wish to have the html checked by w3c then there has to be a DTD so that their validation knows the standard to which the page has been built. I have also read that so many of the html4.01 elements are strict DTD, and that is why I chose it.

I think though, as I have posted in my reply to Drummin, that placing certain elements within

tags seems to be the answer. So if I place the
within

tags then w3c will, like the anchor tag problem, cease to see their position as an error. Hopefully, I will not have to consider playing around with divs or your suggestion of CSS inline.
