Re: Validation Issues....

I like your view, Josh. It makes perfect sense. Why fret about it, as long
as the pages work for the audience.

Dear Jen,

I have a site which works on IE and NN right down to versions 1.0 and 1.1
(I've tested it), which covers about 99.5% of browsers,
but It fails validation on over 150 lines! in fact Allaire's Home Site gave
up checking because of the number of validation violations.
My point is .........Who gives a damn !
If it works on the number and types of browsers you want it to work on then
that's it, you have achieved what you set out to achieve.
There is a quote and I can't remember who it is by, but goes something like
this ...............
"Rules and regulations are for the abeyance of idiots and the guidance of
wise men/women".
If it works, don't worry about it, your better off spending time on
something that really matters.

Please note, this is only a personal view, although I would like to know how
the rest of the list think about it.
