XHTML's very strict codes

I'm trying to make a web-site with valid xhtml 1.0 code. There is a lot of code on w3schools site that doesn't pass w3c validation for xhtml like this one <img src="example.png" border="0"> or this one: <bgsound="example.wav">. The code for bgsound I figured out by myself: <object height="0%" width="0%" classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"><param name="AutoStart" value="9" /><param name="FileName" value="example.wav" /></object> and you have to put it before or after <html></html>.If anyone knows the valid xhtml code for the border in <img src=""> please post it.

if you looked at the DOCTYPE of the w3schoold pages you realize that it is not XHTML strict but XHTML Transitional which is far less picky.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
That is why the pages don't valid to XHTML Strict...because they are not. :) :)

Try this code, you should use css to style your pages<img src="1.jpg" style="border: 0px solid green" />

If you have a border of zero, then why tell it to be green if there is no border to be green? :)style="border:0" works just as well, without the extra code of having "sold green" attached to it.The less the code, the less the filesize, and the faster the page load :)

yep, i just cut and paste from one of my pages, forgot to take "solid green" out!!

A bit OTT there i think, the extra values didn't make a jot of difference to the file size :)

Maybe, but if you look very closely, there are usually a few bites taken off the filesize.So, for example, if the file had 552bites, if you remove "sold" and "green" and "px" (because a value is zero doesn't need to be defined by pixels or percentages) then look at the bites (not kilobites because that can sometimes gives a false reading of the actual filesize) then it might be something like 548bites.
