I've just updated the doctype for the page I'm working on to XHTML 1.1. XHTML 1.1 appears to be basically XHTML 1.0 Strict with a module framework, so the work I've already done to the file already passes the XHTML 1.1 validator. Again, here is the URL for the file I'm working on: http://www.sir-toby.com/extend-a-story/beta-story/docs/begin.html I've added a class to the table, and removed the width specification. Let me know what you think about my earlier discussion regarding the <div> tag. I'm perfectly happy to go with a generic "centered" class if you don't want the flexibility of setting the class of the tags inside the <div> tag. I think I'll start working on the documentation for creating episodes now. -- Jeff Weston (Sir Toby) |
