Though the w3c HTML/XHTML standards do show the META tag inside the head, hence the validation errors (http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input): <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>page</title> </head> <meta name="revision" content="1" /> <body> </body> </html> Line 7, Column 35: document type does not allow element "meta" here. <meta name="revision" content="1" /> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html lang="eng"> <head> <title>page</title> </head> <meta name="revision" content="1"> <body> </body> </html> Line 6, Column 33: document type does not allow element "META" here. <meta name="revision" content="1"> -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
