<a name=... internal links and </a>
[9]

When writing an internal anchor, something like <a name="nameofanchor">, either use the form:
 <a name="nameofanchor"> or
 <a name="nameofanchor"></a>
  
Some browsers, notably some versions of firefox, did not understand anchors like:
 <a name="nameofanchor" /> 
  
as usable with XML or XHTML. Indicating the correct DOCTYPE might also solve the problem :), even if this solution has not been tested...

Internet Explorer, forms and the method= attribute
[10]

When creating a form, if the "method" attribute contains leading spaces, some versions of Internet Explorer will submit the form using the GET method, regardless of the value of the attribute. As for 2005/2006, all recent versions of IE exhibit this behavior. As an example:
 <form method="GET" ... # correct, GET method used
 <form method="POST" ... # correct, POST method used
 <form method=" POST" ... # wrong, GET method used
Note that other browsers, like firefox, ignore the leading spaces and will correctly send data using the POST method.
