Validation XHTML

[abtip]

hello,

It seems there is a concern with the Validation XHTML at the level of the balise content in the qtip script:

The validators say document type does not allow element "b" or "img" or "div" here

So i try to put it all in a separate .js file, but then it doesn't work.

Would there be a means to correct this, or should one stay with these validation errors for using the plugin ?

abtip, not entirely sure I understand. Are you saying the script itself is causing XHTML Invalidation?

[abtip]

I don't know, it may be the script, or the validator which is out of date for such plugin.

One can see this also by placing one of the qtip demo page into a validator.

You mean placing the script tags? Standards usuall dicate that you surround all JS code in an HTML comment like so if yo uwant it to validate:

JS Code

<script><!-- js code --></script>

It was just it. Thanks very much, you really help.

Hi,

I have a question along these lines. I ran my page through the WC3 validator and got this message:

Attribute "tooltip" is not a valid attribute.

I am using XHTML Strict as a DOC Type. Is there any way to get the 'tooltip' attribute to validate using this standard?

Thanks,

nbreslow, unfortunately there isn't. Try using a different attribute name instead, or simply ignore the validation in this case, as in all honesty it doesn't mean much.
