[WSG] Validator Question re SHORTTAG YES
I'm not sure what this means actually. This is from a table in my code which is for tabular data, not for layout. ??? Am I correct in assuming that the validator does not like the 'nowrap'? And that probably being the case, and since I do need it, is there some other betther method for pulling this off? From http://validator.w3.org/: 2. Line 65, column 23: the name and VI delimiter can be omitted from an attribute specification only if SHORTTAG YES is specified Updated * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *

Likewise for disabled="disabled", checked="checked" and noshade="noshade". If you want an explanation: XML requires all attributes to be in the attribute="value" format. SHORTTAG is a remnant from SGML (of which HTML is a subset of). -- tim lucas www.toolmantim.com * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *
