Steve? Do I really need all this code if I don't use insertRow()?

I notice that Validifier turns the code into "Strict" HTML.
No it doesn't.  It  turns <embed> code (which was never sanctioned by the W3C) into VALID XHTML <object> code. Valid code passes W3C validation tests on either Strict or Transitional XHTML document types.
Shorter code is nice, but I like my W3C compliance.   That's why I collapse code on scripts, forms, and embeds.
Huh?   What?  Collapse is a DW code view option only.  It has no effect on published code.
