Timothy Stone commented on STS-556:
-----------------------------------
Nikolaos,
Well argued! My "patch" was binary (turning off the current behavior
altogether) and did not present an option for configuration by the web
developer.
My foremost hope, and argument, is to get configuration in the Stripes tag
library to choose the output style; It is the source of my, seemingly annual,
re-visitation of this issue.
I surf a gray area in my position, but increasingly find myself in the waters
of strict implementation of standards. While <input name="website.url"
type="text" size="30"/> does indeed validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, it is not. It
is something in-between (much like the XHTML spec itself was a transitional
notation toward XML). To be XHTML 1.0 Strict should also mean that the MIME
type is correct, application/xhtml+xml. Most the validation in the wild ignore
this point of the specification.
No question that WARNINGS annoy me. I suspect that `javac' warnings annoy
engineers just the same... "Gotta get all those warnings out of my code.
There is no question that these warnings make me cringe. I have no choice in
the matter and have to accept them, or custom spin my Stripes JAR to get rid of
it.
HTML5 adoption is not a good position to take in arguing this issue, on that
agree. However, I do believe that HTML5 is moving beyond early adoption, and at
or past the "tipping point." Whether experimental or not, HTML5 IS being
implemented. "Implementation trumps Recommendation." [Holzschlag, 2010, Philly
ETE, speaking on HTML5].
HTML5 is in the wild and receiving A LOT of positive developer press (or
depending on your business model, this could be a negative development).

> Key: STS-556
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5.1
> Reporter: Dan Kaplan
> Priority: Minor
>
> Hello, If I use an input tag like this:
> <stripes:text name="website.url" size="30"></stripes:text>
> It'll generate some html like this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> But, if your html is using a doctype like this:
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
> That form is actually invalid. It should instead generate HTML like this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30">
> Or this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" ></input>
> Here is a validator that you can test this with: http://validator.nu
> Paste this html into it to see for yourself:
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
> <html>
> <head><title>title</title></head>
> <body>
> <form action="na">
> <div>
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30"/>
> </div>
> </form>
> </body>
> </html>
> This HTML will validate after you remove the trailing / on the input tag.
