Hi all

I would like to 'convert' the html pages on our intranet to xhtml.  =
Using the built-in codesweepers in Allaire HomeSite, I can easily clean =
up and check the error logs.  However, I was under the impression that =
IE5 would validate the code and return errors in a similar fashion to =
the way it does XML documents.  Below is the code for a test page which =
is hosted on a IIS 4 intranet server.  Despite the errors on the page, =
the page renders without any problems.  Does anyone know what I'm doing =
wrong?=20
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html=20
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang=3D"en" =
lang=3D"en">
  <head>
    <title>Virtual Library</TITLE>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Moved to <a href=3D"http://vlib.org/">vlib.org</a>.
  </BODY>
</html>

Thanks
