Re: [WSG] Standards and ADS

2005-06-14 Thread Wayne Godfrey
I can't believe this subject just came up. I'm about ready to have to  
deal with advertising myself, but not something as simple as Google  
ads. What happens to dealing with Flash based ads as well as some the  
other horrible formats that are going to be thrown into my site. I have  
outlawed pop-ups and unders but there will probably be a few  
table-based and who knows what else. I have been seriously considering  
going to an elastic design for my next version (the first one is  
static) and wondered how I would deal with this especially with my  
market, which is still based in last century web.

Yes. You need to use some workarounds to be able to serve Google ads  
if you use "application/xhtml+xml" to deliver XHTML. More info here:

The iframe created by the ad script still contains old-skool tag-soup  
though. No way around that.

I added a PayPal link to my website but the supplied code snippet isn't 
valid XHTML so I had to manually alter it.

Not if they use standards compliant markup.

Easiest way to check is to get a page to validate, then insert 
the ad and see if it is still valid.
