I Validated my HTML pages but the check came back stating that the HTML
should be in CAPS not lower case has on the FP 2002 produced pages.
Should it be <HTML> </HTML> or <html> </html> as shown on all FP pages or
doesn't it really matter?

Not sure who you validated with, but it doesn't matter, and that's the first
time I ever heard that one.
The pages work correctly don't they??

I've never seen anything in the W3C recommendations on the capitalization.
It could be that whoever built the validator inferred that the HTML must be
in caps because the W3C examples are usually all in caps. Running through
the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/) I couldn't find any mention of the
required capitalization. The only things that's a normal recommendation is
to keep the opening and closing tags in the same capitalization scheme. When
using validators you have to take a lot of their items and recommendations
with a grain of salt, and throw many of them away as not being useful or
just too darned picky.

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark & Steve,

Yes, they work ok but just wanted confirmation from you clever ones. Thanks
for your help. Please keep up your great work as I'd be lost without it.
