I think this is a very common misconception. It is very likely that the problems you were experiencing with XHTML were because of CSS that was not supported by netscape.
XHTML is very cross-browser friendly, and if you use XHTML transitional, then you can still even use the dreaded <font> tags if you want. =) My suggestion would be that the <html:html> tag generate XHTML-transitional by default and have a "type" attribute that can be set to "strict", "transitional", or "frameset" as needed. --- - Nayan Hajratwala - Chikli Consulting LLC - http://www.chikli.com -----Original Message----- From: Matt Read [mailto:mread@;spotd.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:33 AM To: Struts Developers List Subject: Re: HTML, XML, XHTML and <html:html> In my experience XHTML does not work in older browsers, specifically Netscape 4.x and I would be very concerned if an upgrade to Struts 1.1 gave me no choice in using XHTML.
