I've been told that using Quotes is better then not,

align="left" valign="top" or height="25" ect........

Are there benefits to either.



Cheers

If you're working with XHTML then you have to quote your attributes. Actually the page may still validate and work, but it's a requirement of XHTML.

It's one of the first thing you hear about for differences b/n HTML and XHTML....

- XHTML elements must be properly nested

- All XHTML elements must be closed (example: HTML <br>, XHTML <br />)

- XHTML docs must be well formed

- Attribute values must be quoted

- Tags and atrributes must be lowercase

- You cannot minimize attributes (so no <option selected> .. it has to be <option selected="selected">

- "id" attribute replaces "name" attribute

and so on....
