The W3C shows many validation errors, but your page works on 5 common
browsers I have to test. If you end your url with just pg1, pc1, or
just a slash, you get 3 different pages, one being a photo of a bay
area country view. Likewise, using the error <script language =
javascript 1.2> instead of the now required <script ="text/
javascript"> works, despite being an error. The same for several other
errors. The point is that all or some browsers may work for certain
errors. However, with the next version upgrade, the browser may not
work with some errors that it did before. Then the webmaster may have
to hack a way around the problem or correct errors to get a certain
browser to work again. Of course some new browsers have bugs,
especially IE ones, but these usually are detected fairly early and
posts in groups such as this point out the problem and how to get
around it.
