The point being? Of course validation fails when you specify a document type
that does allow an element you're using. Both the object and the iframe fail
validation when you use the HTML 2.0 document type.


So, just out of curiosity what doctype would you recommend?

I'm actually using XHTML 1.1 strict, but I'm not writing pure xhtml,
nor am I expecting to pass validation (I pass all the major issues,
but there are many minor things that just don't matter which fail). I
have too many "third party" snippets in use, many of which I either
don't know how to change as the inner workings are way over my head,
or would simply prefer not to change since that means yet another
round of experiments & testing, when all I want to do is get my one
website up & running and out of "test mode".

Thank you
