I would suggest to remove from the code all the

Code:

<font class="whatever"></font> 


and replace it with


<span class="whatever"></span>

Same for

Code:

<center></center>


to be replaced with


<div align="center"></div>

There are also references to hard-coded font colors that should be removed and added to CSS class.
Those tags are actually deprecated and would be a good move to get rid of.
Just my two cents.

Completely agree but we were only focusing on XHML 1.0 Transitional in which these are still allowed.

Wait until you see some of the new tableless themes slated for 2.3.0! At least one of the new themes is completely driven off of CSS.

Although this does not fix the issues that you are identifying, it was the needed next step within that process. Because now we will have such a clean theme to work with that it makes the core code "issues" even that much easier to find and test.

Appreciate your input! We're taking it one step at a time.

Well. check out the rendered HTML of www.yummyfood.net and tell me what you think... Wink

The default theme use only two tables, and I'm working to get rid of them on Sommaire block...
Forums validate also...

note: I just discovered the web developer toolbar for firefox. If you do not have it, shame on you: go and get it! lol

Nice work! It is great to see someone take the ball and run with it like that, doing something above and beyond the original limitations.

I agree and that is what is being done with some really good work by a couple of theme experts for RN 2.3.0. gotcha is cooking up a real winner!

Regarding the mentioned FF plug-in. I've been using it for about 1.5 years now. You are right. Its essential!

@Montego: I'm looking forward to mess up with new stuff!
