As far as I can tell, Firefox requires the doctype to be found when parsing [using standards-mode rules] the first 1024 characters (not bytes) from the first non-whitespace character, and then it reparses the whole document in quirks mode if necessary. Not for me it doesn’t (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070603 Fedora/2.0.0.4-2.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.4). Both render in standards mode for me. -- Martin Payne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.martinpayne.co.uk/
Re: [whatwg] P element's content model restrictions
Leif Halvard Silli wrote: I'd like to question these restricions. I think that at the very least, TABLE should be allowed inside the P element. The reason is that MSIE (I tested version 6 and 7) accept TABLE in P, regardless of whether it is in Quirks-Mode or in Standards-Mode. Even Firefox-Opera-Safari (FirOpSa) allow TABLE inside P - allthough they only do so when in Quirks-Mode. When would it ever make sense to do this though? Surely you would never want to put a table inside a paragraph, because tables and paragraphs are two totally different things. I also can’t see why you would put a paragraph inside a paragraph—surely it should either just be one paragraph, or be two completely separate paragraphs. -- Martin Payne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.martinpayne.co.uk/
