in reply to RE: Re: html
in thread printing html entities
Or some new ones =) The spec for those codes says that the
";" is needed unless the ampersand and codestring are followed
by whitespace or other character illegal in a codestring.
That means that <html> always works, <html> is
wrong since <h may someday mean something and then which
do you choose?
IE tries to find a working match down the string which is
nice but breaks in the future and shows the wrong tag. It has
also taught a half million people to do it wrong and then
yell at the NS and Opera people.
