Re: doctype & html verification: msg#00006

Subject: Re: doctype & html verification

Playing with

http://validator.w3.org/check/referer

gives me a bad feeling.
slashHead.tpl declares a doctype of

"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"

but does

<link ... />

just a few lines below. A quick

grep '/ *>' *.tpl

shows a lot of this strange XML code.

Is this just an oversight?

At some point I believe that this templates were validated. I remember somebody talking about that here in the -devel (or was it -users) list. I think is time to move on to "4.01 Strict" and do some of those strange things that look like XML but are actually somewhere in the gray area (XHTML?). For instance, the infamous: < br /> . And similar tags.

I also play a lot with the validator, but if something looks good on Mozilla, I don't even bother to check it. IE guys are out of luck :-) The good thing is that Mozilla does "the right thing" most of the time (except for those < blink > tags and other crap people tend to use in other pages, not us here in phpslash :-) ).

The right thing to do is to pull the phpslash-dev module from CVS and play with it and submit patches -- or totally new skins from phpslash-skin module.

Just my .02 contrib...


P.D. #phpslash on irc.freenode.net is always open for comment. Joe and others, including myself, regularly hang on that channel.
