I've been constructing new pages as HTML5 for over a year. One item to note is that the rules are different than html 4.x and things that were allowed before with ( loose ) will not validate. Constructing a web page with old habits could lead to 10-30 errors when attempting to validate as HTML5 , even though it might look fine in one's own browser.
My iRev/ lc HTML5 pages always ended up with too many errors and only recently have I figured out what was wrong. It's about the headers. I've learned a lot about creating quality, verifiable HTML5 code using the w3C validator <http://validator.w3.org/> To share with those trying to make validated HTML5 pages using Livecode server: <http://www.jazzcubed.com/> *[ do this before any other HTML is sent: (this will make Apache talk UTF-8 ) ]* <?lc put new header "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8" ?> *[ this html startup and header code validates for me ]* * <!DOCTYPE html>* * <html>* * <head>* * <meta charset="UTF-8">* * <title>Jazzcubed Records</title>* * <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.ico" />* * </head>* * <body>* *[content]* * </body>* * </html>* so simple and clean, universal now. I like the standard. sqb On 9 November 2011 10:40, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: > > Nice.
