I note that you didn't give an example URL.
There are a lot of bozos who are putting up "Web pages"
but who have NO IDEA what they are doing.

The next time you encounter this situation, go to this page:
http://validator.w3.org/
Feed in the URL of the page with problems.

You should see something like this
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.debian.org/
**Passed**

and not like this
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=8
3134 Errors

At that point, you will know where to place the blame.

Of course, some reported "errors" are just plain silly:

Line 9, Column 47: Attribute "BORDER" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "border"?

(from a frameset declaration)


XHTML requires all tag names and attributes to be lowercase. HTML does not. This only reinforces that the site serves fake XHTML.

As it happens, the page I fed it was plain vanilla HTML, but contained no doctype declaration. It runs fine because browsers don't care.


It runs fine because web browsers have a quirks mode.
