[WSG] Validation questions
Hello all, I have some validation issues presented to me by http://validator.w3.org and I'm hoping someone can shed a bit more light on them. I have an error where it says document type does not allow element OL here The ol tag is within a formfieldset I don't understand, is this not allowed? I have an error where it says end tag for element P which is not open. The p tag is actually within javascript, within the headscript I don't see how I can fix this error. Thanks in advance. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Are you using a STRICT doctype? If so, form tags can only contain block level elements. http://24ways.org/2005/transitional-vs-strict-markup This e-mail is confidential.

Re: [WSG] Validation questions
Hey Taco! This sounds like one of those 'its much easier if you show us the code' things :) Write a stripped down version, if its Things You Must Not Show The Public ;) (And often stripping it down will give that marvellous illumination that fixes the problem :)) I have an error where it says document type does not allow element OL here The ol tag is within a formfieldset I don't understand, is this not allowed? Could the OL be occurring within an inline element? That would not validate. I have an error where it says end tag for element P which is not open. The p tag is actually within javascript, within the headscript I don't see how I can fix this error. Move the '/p' into the js too. Perhaps have 'openThingy' and 'closeThingy' functions? warmly, Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems Brisbane, Australia *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

RE: [WSG] Validation questions
Hi, yes, am using STRICT doctype OK, if I understand this correctly, all I need to do to fix it is surround it with a DIV.

RE: [WSG] Validation questions
Hi,
This sounds like one of those 'its much easier if you show us the code'
things :)
Yes, its development, don't want Google to pick up on it.
Move the '/p' into the js too.
It needs to be inline due to coding framework used, the following is the
code:
if ( myArray.length == 0 ) {
myTarget.innerHTML = 'pNo suggestions found/p';
return false;
}
Perhaps have 'openThingy' and 'closeThingy' functions?
