    Too bad it crashed Opera though. (Granted, I was conducting an accessibility audit on the site at the time, but still.)

    I don't get it -- the Doctype is for XHTML 1.1 (albeit with the prolog missing) with the content (MIME) type specified as application/xhtml+xml, which is the correct Meta form, although the page is actually being served as an HTML document -- content (MIME) type text/html -- which is incorrect.

    I think the originators thought that by specifying the content type in the Meta tag as they did it would automatically be served as XML compliant XHTML. Of course that is not so, the file association must be established in the server.

    In any event, if it really was served as application/xhtml+xml it wouldn't be usable in IE browsers.

    Just by way of additional information ..........

    Here is a fully XML compliant XHTML 1.0 page served as content type application/xhtml+xml. Note in particular the rules for utilizing CSS with XML compliant XHTML and the recommended use of an XML schema Validator rather than the W3C SGML based Validator with "real" XHTML.

    Hey James, have you ever seen the Suckerfish page (the "Sons of" one actually) at HTMLdog.com? I saw too that it was XHTML1.1 and they had no meta tag saying how to send it-- they MUST be sending it as text/html from their server! When I saw trying to figure out why their menu worked in IE7 but my exact copy (without the JS) didn't, I thought at first it had something somewhere to do with that (but it didn't... still dunno what IE7 is doing with that JS).

    Even though it's incorrect, what's the page really coming out as?

    Also, I saw Anne van Kesteren's "contact" page with real XHTML... weeeeeeeird...

    Hi Stomme poes. I will check out the page you reference. Since the advent of IE7 MS has provided for the display of application/xhtml+xml pages in IE7 and later iteration IE6 browsers (although sometimes not very well) -- but they still will not render XML content -- ref: Microsoft MSIE 7.0 Blog

    The best way to check how any page is being served is to use the Web-Sniffer HTTP Request & Response Header Viewer -- specify Browser via the User agent window (Firefox 2 MAC is equal to Firefox 2 Windows) -- best to use the default settings. Do not rely on the content type notation in the W3C Validator -- previous results are held in cache for some time. You can also easily check serving information via the Firefox Tools drop-down.

    That is a great looking website, I do wish they had more projects in their portfolio. The forum is really good, but the april blog is under construction. Thanks for sharing, does anyone know what they are using for animation?
