Problem with XHTML Strict validation

-Rasmus- · 10-29-2006, 08:29 AM

Hi,

I have made my site almost XHTML 1.1 Strict valid but there's one Amazon ad's code that doesn't validate. Any ideas of how to fix that?

Link to validation result: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...shamonline.com

Thanks

If you could please post the amazon code, I could correct it for you, As it is hard to see the code on the validation page.
Thanks.

Sure, here it is:

Code:

<center>
<iframe
src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=johngrisham0a-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=st1&amp;mode=books&amp;search=john%20grisham&amp;=1&amp;fc1=&amp;lt1=&amp;lc1=&amp;bg1=&amp;f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="120" height="240" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe></center>

Hmm, Maybe try using xHTML traditional?

Doesn't help, still have the same errors, plus a few more.

Change line 5 (or where ever your similar code is) to:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/252147-resolved-problem-with-xhtml-strict-validation.html
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="UTF-8" />

A few of the errors are for having </meta>. Instead of having it like that, end your opening meta tag with />
example: <meta name="distribution" content="global" />

Change <center> to
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and </center> to </div>)

All the rest of the errors seem to be because <iframe ..> isn't a valid XHTML object. I don't know how you can fix those.

Thanks, now there's only iframe left... Is there maybe a code to wrap around the iframe so that the validator would skip that part?

You could use javascript to write it.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('Put your iframe code here');
</script>

Put that where you want the iframe.

That didn't work, the ad just disappeared (maybe because I'm using Textpattern CMS).

I just tested the following and it works:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=johngrisham0a-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=st1&amp;mode=books&amp;search=john%20grisham&amp;=1&amp;fc1=&amp;lt1=&amp;lc1=&amp;bg1=&amp;f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="120" height="240" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe>');
</script>

-Rasmus- · 10-29-2006, 12:36 PM

You're right, it works. But unfortunately it still has all the validation errors.

Dan · 10-29-2006, 12:41 PM

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=johngrisham0a-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=st1&amp;mode=books&amp;search=john%20grisham&amp;=1&amp;fc1=&amp;lt1=&amp;lc1=&amp;bg1=&amp;f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="120" height="240" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe>');
-->
</script>

Try that.
