Hi,

I'm trying to get my website to validate.

The template I'm using (andreas09) uses this DTD

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

and I have come across the following issues:

News module
Produces this code:

Code:

<h1>Latest news</h1><p><a href="http://www.domain.com/pages//posts/obligatory-first-post-2.php">Obligatory First Post</a><br /><p>

I think it's having a nested <p> that it doesn't like, so I'd like to replace <br /> with </p> if possible.

Can someone point me to or advise the right place to do this?

Search

Code:

<h1>Search</h1>
<form name="search"

The error I've got for this one is: there is no attribute "name"

WB Section Anchor

Code:

This code produces the same error (there is no attribute "name"). I don't *think* I need these as I don't use the WB Links?

I could use Transitional, but I'd like to see if there's a way to get this to validate with the XHTML 1.1 DTD?

OK, fixed the News module problem (not sure if it'll bring up another program later) cheesy

For anyone else with this issue, the problem was in the template index.php file on line 104.

I replaced:

Code:

echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a><br />'.$short.'<span class="hide"> | </span></p>';

with:

Code:

echo '<p><a href="'.WB_URL.'/pages/'.$link.PAGE_EXTENSION.'">'.$title.'</a></p>'.$short.'<p><span class="hide"> | </span></p>';

Actually to make it useful for other users, you would need to post the template in use as well. At least the name.

But if this code is still in the template, you might want to update the whole template. This code is now available as the anynews add-on which is much better then the original code and comes very well documented.
