I also got a good laugh noticing that this "HTML expert" couldn't be bothered to close her <LI> tags

Hey, the book's crap, and sarcasm is great, but you look silly pointing out mistakes that aren't. <li> tags don't have to be closed in HTML so why bother? Would you critise a Perl book for using $_ ?

    That's a booboo on my part. I'm thinking XHTML and everything needs to be closed properly. It's a good habit to get into (which I don't always bother with). Allowing optional end tags is stupidity, but quite valid in regular HTML.

    What? You're comparing cheese and Wednesday here. The only way I can see what you're meaning is to assume that you're pointing out that both are valid. Other than that, I have no clue as to your point. Thanks for pointing out my initial error, though.

    Cheers,
