I just found a comprehensive list with differences between HTML and XHTML: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HTML_vs._XHTML#Differences_Between_HTML_and_XHTML (via http://www.lachy.id.au/log/ , also a good site to look for XHTML/HTML topics) -- Klaus -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
