Stefan,

Check out

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.schoening-online.com%
2F&doctype=Inline

(be sure to get the whole URL pasted into your address bar!),

then browse to the URL on top of this page

http://www.schoening-online.com/

and view my source code: to be XHTML-compliant for Validator checks, you
have to DECLARE the page to be just that :-)


HTH!

Gerhard
