Xhtml

**Gordy** · 15-03-2004, 12:54 AM

After stumbling across an article about some1 redesigning /. in XHTML I thought it was high time I sat down and learnt to code my sites in XHTML compliant code. I've got the basics sorted and I've used wc3's validator to check my code in XHTML 1.0 but I've not managed to find a 1.1 validator.

Any ideas where I can find one?

Cheers

Off the top of my head I think it validates based on your doctype. So if your doctype states 1.1 then it'll be validated as such. There is no specific 1.1 validator URL

I woke up in the middle of the night and realised that

Dofus I am

Any1 know the doctype thang I need for 1.1 ?

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

I quite like this xhtml its a bit wierd to get used to and footers are a nightmare but one the css is done its such a smaller page footprint

The only problem I've had is that target="_blank" throws a validation error is there a way of making a link open in a new window with out this attribute?

use rel="external" and include the following javascript as an include on every page

Code:

function externalLinks() { 
 if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return; 
 var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); 
 for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) { 
   var anchor = anchors[i]; 
   if (anchor.getAttribute("href") && 
       anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external") 
     anchor.target = "_blank"; 
 } 
}

Cheers Az

Seems like a long winded way of doing things

I thought xhtml was around to cut out excess code
