Hello

I know this issue has been discussed before and I know that DNN core are gradually moving DNN a little closer to fully validated xhtml compliance. In the meantime I am trying (without editing the core) to make my site that little bit closer to being 100% validated.

I did a html check and I got 71 errors on my page (DNN 4.4.1) e.g.

Line 3 column 166: end tag for "meta" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Ok so I said I didn't want to edit the core but I looked at the Default.aspx file, as I thought that would be quite easy to insert a missing /. I put a / on the end of the lines which did not have any (I presumed that they had been omitted):

 <meta name="RESOURCE-TYPE" content="DOCUMENT">
    <meta name="DISTRIBUTION" content="GLOBAL">
    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, FOLLOW">
    <meta name="REVISIT-AFTER" content="1 DAYS">
    <meta name="RATING" content="GENERAL">
    <meta http-equiv="PAGE-ENTER" content="RevealTrans(Duration=0,Transition=1)">

But it made no difference, I still got the same error.

So I obviously need to edit something else also, or instead. Phew! it is an uphill struggle.

Regards

Lynn

Hello John

Thanks for the reply and the info. 

BTW does your latest PageBlaster now create 100% validated pages?

Thanks

Lynn

Yes, using PageBlaster is not a completely plug-n-play solution for Xhtml validation, especially if you want validation on all pages, but it sure makes it possible in much less time.
