I like to use <h2> inside links.
This is invalid unless I use: <object<<h2>xxxx</h2></object>

Someone here decried the use of <object>

Am I committing a cardinal sin?

You may like it, but it is not valid.

> This is invalid unless I use:<object<<h2>xxxx</h2></object>

That is not valid either.

Learn to like the standards. You will be happier in the end.

W3C Validator makes this objection:

Line 50, Column 6: document type does not allow element "H2" here; missing one of "OBJECT", "MAP", "BUTTON" start-tag

Does this not imply that one should supply what is "missing" ? Am I fool for supplying the "missing one" ?

Please, only humans reply. Ones with just a little tidbit of sense of humour/humor.
