The second part of it (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd) does not exist. See http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html for a list of recommended (and working) doctype declarations. 18232 2 stephenclouse 2008-01-07 12:30:27 +0000 The error still occurs after fixing the doctype declaration. And why doesn't the broken doctype throw an error at all? 18235 3 ot 2008-01-07 13:06:47 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > The error still occurs after fixing the doctype declaration. Well, which DTD are you using in the end? u being a presentational element, is not in strict XHTML document types. Use transitional, or, better, use CSS. 18236 4 stephenclouse 2008-01-07 22:00:29 +0000 Then someone needs to fix the annotated DTD: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict It shows u as being part of strict. The actual DTD does not. Guess that's all. Sorry. 18237 5 ot 2008-01-08 00:58:11 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Then someone needs to fix the annotated DTD: > http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict > It shows u as being part of strict. The actual DTD does not. As far as I can tell only the Transitional annotated DTD shows the underline. What is confusing is that all three annotated DTDs are on the same page, so a search may make you jump from one to the other.
