This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.1!

Finally I managed to fix this place and now I can proudly use this little png:

Valid XHTML 1.1

It seems that Google has finally fixed Adsense to work with XHTML. So far the entire site is XHTML 1.1 compliant. The pages are being served as application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html. I hope this doesn’t choke Internet Explorer, but IE doesn’t even support XHTML anyway (does it support any modern standard at all?). If you are using Windows and IE, and want a better browser, try Mozilla Firefox.

I had to fix a lot of code, specially external autogenerated code, like the little images you see on the right. Nothing complicated. Now I must fix the CSS that came with the Wordpress theme I am using, so I can live in complete-standard-compliance land. Hello World Wide Web Consortium!

And it seems that it has been standards day, since slashdot finally switched to HTML 4.01 strict and CSS.

    It’s fixed now. I used <blockquote></blockquote> instead of <blockquote><p></p></blockquote> in a new post.

    Thanks!

    I had a massive problem with targeting links to a new window (’target’ attribute) with the Strict DOCTYPE, but found that you can use JavaScript:

    just put onclick=”window.open(this.href); return false;” in your ‘a’ tag..
