Cole, can you post a url so people can see the validator results and review the code? Everything looks on the up-and-up from what you've posted. I've never used the FF HTML Validator extension (is it the one based on HTML Tidy?), so i can't speak for that. The Web Developer extension just pushes the page to the W3C validator. Please also verify which Validator of the 2 you're running into trouble with.

Hello all –


I’ve got the following doctype at the head of each of my pages:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd ">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">


I take great pains to validate everything I do on every page, but, even if the page shows as valid (using FF’s HTML Validator extension – or Web Developer extension… I can’t remember which) when I view source on a “valid” page, I always get an info box that states:


Info: Doctype given is "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

Info: Document content looks like XHTML 1.0 Transitional

I don’t think that this is – by any means – any reason for me to be worried about my code/structure/et. al, but I’ve always wondered why, if I feed a xhtml 1.0 STRICT doc type why the validator always says that my stuff looks TRANSITIONAL?

Am I doing something wrong?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Cole
