If you do not know how to discuss something that you disagree in a civilized manner without departing to personal insult, sorry I can not justify giving you any further attention. > For the record, the specification does not say that attribute values > need to be lowercase, only attribute *names*.

Try entering the following HTML in the W3C markup validator page and see for yourself why people are using post in lowercase because they think being XHTML compliant is a good thing. http://validator.w3.org/#validate-by-input <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>Never mind</title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action=""> </form> </body> </html> -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
