Actually, I never had that in there until I ran the validator at w3.org
told me to do it... ok actually it told me that my blockquote tag had to
be within one of the following: "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", or
"BUTTON".
So, I put it in the "OBJECT" tag, since the others were clearly not
appropriate. Apparently it's not appropriate to use the object tag
either.
If I omit the object tag it works fine in Safari and the others. I
tried a bunch of stuff.. mostly changing the attributes to the object
tag, to make it work and be valid. *sigh*. No luck.
Maybe when I catch up with stuff, I can spend another weekend making
the site valid to the strict DTD instead of the loose DTD.
...and for those that are cappin' on my code, let me tell you that this
site started as a completely different looking free template over 6yrs
ago. It's been added to and edited literally hundreds of times, perhaps
a thousand times, all by me, and I do not claim to be a html guru. You
will still see comments and stuff in there from the original template.
The weekend I spent validating the code cleaned it up a LOT. I am
reluctant to make big changes to the site since it has proven to work
very well so far (sold lots of what I sell, and gets lots of comments on
clarity, ease of use and speed).
