Hi Tim
First, change this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
to this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xml; charset=utf-8" />
Then read this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.2
Particularly this:
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
In other words, id="__VIEWSTATE" simply won't do :)
Cheers,
Robert

I have a page I want to validate. W3C says it's valid XHTML
Transitional but Tidy complains saying, "line 96 column 1 -
Warning: <input> ID "__VIEWSTATE" uses XML ID syntax." The page is
www.provost.uiuc.edu and because it has a XHTML DOCTYPE, I would
think XML syntax should be just fine.
I am advising on this page so I don't have access to the files to
change anything but wanted to research the complaint before
reporting it. Any ideas what TIDY's problem is saying.
I thought preceding an ID with the double underscore might be the
issue but would like a more technical explanation, particularly
since W3C says it's valid.
Thanks in advance.
