That doesn't matter, as ID's starting with a leading digit are not allowed in html4.01. Beside, XHTML strict served as text/html is handled just the same as html4.01 by browsers. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-name > and secondly, IDs or classes beginning with a digit that is in an escape > sequence (flowed by one space of whitespace) is valid CSS. The CSS selector is only valid when the (leading) digit is escaped… IOW: #4col1 {background: lime;} is invalid (and correctly ignored by browsers) but #\34col1 {background: lime;} is valid Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
