It would be nice if you make sure that the new formatting functions bold and italic results in valid html. E.g. marking a textpart and format it bold and italic results in "<b><i>Example</b></i>" which is not valid html, but "<b><i>Example</i></b>" is. | | | Never argue with an idiot.

| | Posted: | | | | I have also see some weird behavior about the placement of the tags (it's seems impossible to pace them around words only if they are near a line break) and, a little worse, when there is tags at the end of the Overview the closing tags gets dropped. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Yep, I can confirm this. As a workaround, I always use Notepad to edit the overview, manually typing the <b> and <i> tags. I even have a custom HTML window for the Overview, which allows me to quickly copy the text with tags to the clipboard. It also allows me to easily switch between formatted, unformatted and "show tags" view. If there is interest, I can post it in the Layouts forum. | | | | Matthias |

That's another point. I noticed this as I want to correct some overviews with bold text at the end. This is really nasty. | | | Never argue with an idiot.

DJ's correct. You should never break your nesting order. Yes, as written in the HTLML 3.2 specification which has been the first official specification by the W3C: Quote:
Text level elements must be properly nested - the following is in error:
This has some <B>bold and <I></B>italic text</I>. |

Ah, thanks. Somehow I remembered that as a "should", not a "must" clause, with the later XHTML being the turning point. Even if it was a 'should' clause, it would mean in the context of those specifications that a server has to produce the correct code, while a client has to deal with incorrect code as well. This is common RFC speech (even though HTML 3.2 is not an official RFC). |

| | Posted: | | | | I personally wish that browser would quit catering to the stupid so that programmers and professional web developers such as Ken can see these kind of issues quickly.
It started with Microsoft and IE because they wanted pages that looked fine with sloppy HTML in their browser to look like crap in other browsers that followed standards. Didn't help that Frontpage generated sloppy HTML. But of course, other browsers won't do that because it could hurt their market share. |

It has always been the concept of HTML that servers should strictly following the rules while clients should be tolerant what they accept. |

... it adopted the W3C's published specifications more faithfully than Netscape Navigator 4.0.
Unfortunately after IE won the browser war two things happened: 1) MS put limited development into it 2) A lot of enterprise applications where build based on IE. No matter what happens on the internet with regards to standards, Microsoft simply can't affort to break the enterprise applications. Sure they can give them a small nodge now and then, but that is it. No matter how big MS is, when the worlds largest companies line up and say "we do NOT want to invest in upgrading our infrastucture, you better make sure everything still works" even Microsoft simply isn't powerfull enough to win that battle. | | | Regards
