There is an option of adding standalone='no' or standalone='yes' attribute in the XHTML document's header (uhm, or is it called property in XML); btw., as far as I know this part of it is called DTD, but I am not sure if the last "D" stands for declaration or definition. If you might be interested, see the example of the full code in my own home-site's source: http://tadej-ivan.50webs.com ... Anyway, I am interested, does this applies to any "external files" (on which XHTML document depends), like for instance JavaScript scripts, CSS external style files etc., or just to XHTML-related ones, i.e. the external XML schemas ?? P.S. -- If you want to, please see the A XML related confusion; a theoretical question once again ... thread that I've opened on Ars Technica forum back then and in which I was trying to clarify my problems with the most basic XML-schema principle. /NOTE: I've posted this same topic in the "Content Management" part of forums (sub-section: XML & RSS), since I wasn't sure which one is more appropriate. tayiper
It has to do with your writing your own DTD. Since xhtml is seldom, if ever in most cases, served as application/xhtml+xml, it is moot. None of that stuff, including the xml prolog/declaration applies to html. So, forget it. cheers, gary
