Sorry that I keep using the <br> tag as an example because I agree it's not a particularly good, although it does demonstrate my point. I see a problem not with the <br> tag in particular as obviously Struts taglibs don't generate them, but that to be absolutely certain that there aren't any major problems with older browsers and XHTML, we would have to run a very comprehensive regression test on a significant number of browser/OS/version combinations. As far as I know neither struts or the browser vendors have the regression tests available for this.
As much as I'd like to be able build sites that worked only in Mozilla 1.0 and IE6.0, my customers still feel that the minority browsers are important. Until that trend finishes (I think we've got at least a year yet), I would hate to be stalled on a particular version of struts when we could easily make it a configurable option. How about a compromise... instead of each tag having to be explicitly configured, add a generic request processor configuration item in struts-config.xml?

Someone made note that <br/> would not work, but <br /> would work. The reason is that the browser will try to interpret everything between < and > as a tag. The space makes it think that the slash is an unknown attribute instead of part of the tag name. I don't know this for a fact, but I never saw you give a rebuttal for this point so I thought I'd restate it as a possibility. I can't claim any great degree of familiarity with the top - just trying to help. Matt Read wrote: >I don't agree I'm afraid. I'm also fairly aware of the difference between CSS >and XHTML.
