errors are reported by what? on the HTML? by your PHP editor?

heh, well, before XHTML 1.0, it was recommended that you use
quotes on all attributes, though specifically *required*...
however, if you code to XHTML or are coding HTML4.01 that you
want to later move over to XHTML with a minimal of hassle, then
you should conform to the XHTML requirements, which is all lower-
case tags and attributes (not their values, their names) and quote
all attributes...
i used to use capitalization to help me spot nesting tables... first
table would be lower-case, second would be tabbed in and upper-
case... but i don't do that anymore since all my code is
(supposed to be) XHTML-ready...
