Semantic HTML and JavaScript

I love this technique. Browsers offer better support for pure XML documents and CSS than people apparently remember, because it seems developers have quit using literal XML, and use HTML (formerly XHTML) exclusively. We’re still not bound to the default block elements though. We can write very expressive markup still, and by including the JS declarations for those elements, retain decent cross-browser support.

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>404 - Page not found</title>
        <script>
            document.createElement('content');
            document.createElement('text');
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <style>
            content {
                display: block;
                width: 300px;
                height: 100px;
                margin: 0px;
                margin-top: 20px;
                margin-left: auto;
                margin-right: auto;

                text-align: center;

                font-family: "Century Gothic";
                font-weight: normal;
                font-size: 12px;
                color: #454545;
            }

            text {
                display: block;
                margin: 0px;
                padding: 0px;
                line-height: auto;
                text-align: center;

                font-family: inherit;
                font-weight: inherit;
                font-size: inherit;
                color: inherit;
            }
        </style>

        <content>
            <text>404. The page requested cannot be found.</text>
        </content>
    </body>
</html>
