Drew > MOU, you have 70 validation errors. Thanks for the check I've not done a proper XHTML Strict validation yet so I'm aware I'm going to have to tweak things.

Please spare me this once I have been rushing!! > Many of the attribute issues have to do with xhtml > strict not working well > with other web addons such as flash and php. You just can't get Flash to validate with all the required stuff in the code and to be honest I don't really care too much about that as the rest of the markup is (or will be when I've fixed it) compliant and get dealt with properly (or as properly as IE will allow). There was an interesting article on ALA called "Flash Satay" where all the <embed> rubbish was cleaned up and made XHTML valid but there were one or two things that were a problem (like the plug-ins auto-updating themselves). I'll look into it some more and make a decision. As far as I know I shouldn't have any PHP/XHTML conflicts as I'm not declaring an XML type at the very head of the page (the <? bit both use conflict with each other) as this is all text-file based, not MySQL (don't ask) but again I'll check it out. > The entity problem has to do with the use of "&", > the ampersand. Xhtml > doesn't like that. Use either the & or the html > number Seems like a bad decision on my part then. I've been very keen to use proper typography as best I can with this (subsequently ditched because this is text file based and I'm not writing the content - again don't ask) and the advice given in an ALA article "EM and En and other shady characters" was talking about using entity numbers instead of names and stuff. I'll probably go back to HTML numbers or named entites if XHTML is moaning. > To ease the attribute/id issue switch to a strict > html 4.01 doctype. No, I'm putting in the work to stay XHTML Strict as I have been doing for 2 years! Thanks for the input Drew!
