CMS and HTML 4.01 strict
|
|
| Paul Devenney 2004-10-25, 7:48 am |
| does anyone have experience of trying to make CMS conform to HTML 4.01
strict? we have a client requirement to do this, but CMS (and .NET) seems to
disobey this in several places, mostly in the placeholder output (those
rotten span tags for instance).
any resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Paul

| Hi Stefan,
yes, I was thinking and acting on the same approach. Was just hoping that
someone might have come across some of the complications already. In case
anyone else is interested, the main things that need changing are:
* Viewstate needs to be inside a div tag (and of course viewstate often
takes several buffers, so there is difficulty in identifying the end of it)
* All cases of border="x" needs to be removed from the Images produced by
placeholders (if you are starting a new site a good way might be a inherited
placeholder)
* All align="right" attributes etc need to be removed from content and
replaced with the equivalent statement using style="" (above solution might
work)
* all target="_blank" attributes need to be removed.
I can see I'll have fun with this one....
