From the JSF 1.1 spec:
============================= 8.5 Standard HTML RenderKit Implementation To ensure application portability, all JSF implementations are required to include support for a RenderKit, and the associated Renderers, that meet the requirements defined in this section, to generate textual markup that is compatible with HTML 4.01. =============================
However, if there are changes we can make to MyFaces Core that will improve xhtml support while still meeting the above requirement, we can make them. On 4/16/07, Rudi Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, making some investigations on XHTML-comfomance fo myFaces (without Tomahawk) I found out, that the output of the basic components, like <h:form/>, <h:commandButton/> and so on render valid XHTML but just transitional (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">). The problem is, that our customer requires XHTML-Strict (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">). Running the XHTML-output of a standard form against the validator of the W3C. I get some errormessages. The first one ist, that there is no name-attribute in the defined DTD for the form-element, but the <h:form/>-tag renders it: <form id="_idJsp2" name="_idJsp2" method="post" action= The second error is, that the hidden fields inserted by the JSF-implementation into the form are not enclosed in a div-Element. If I but my input-Elements inside the form in a <t:div/>, this elements are enclosed in a <div> and don't produce any errors, but the hidden fields inserted by myfaces are rendered after the closing </div>-Tag. Has anyone an idea? Isn't it required by the JSF-Spec to render XHTML-Strict to be a standard conform implementation? Best regards, Rudi
