Hi all.
I have probably a rather stupid question.
If there is an HTML document, XML-formed using JTidy,
is there any tool to convert it to valid XHTML?
I.e. so that all the tags and attribute values will be XHTML compliant.
For example, if the original document has following snippet:
<p><div>text</div></p> (which is not valid XHTML), the output
would be something like <p><span>text </span></p> (which is valid XHTML).
Thank you very much for help.

Well, I am not that familiar with JTidy, but Tidy attempts to do that to
some extend. Current Tidy would turn that fragment into
<div>text</div>
<br />
<br />
which is bad but valid. If you specify the --drop-proprietary-attributes
config option, it would even drop all non-W3C attributes from all
elements, Tidy even tries to convert some known proprietary elements to
other elements, CSS, characters, ... whatever might fit. In fact, if the
result with --drop-proprietary-attributes enabled is not valid, it is
probably a bug and should be reported (this does not apply to invalid
attribute values for valid attributes, Tidy fixes some, but quite a
number cannot be fixed, just dropped, but there is currently no config
option to do that.) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

As well all know, valid markup is important... but when trying to find

Is there something to be _shown_ to people who ask "why validate?"?

According to the specs
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2), the <a> element
requires an end tag. And so, when we use <A NAME="foo"> in HTML 2.0 to
4.01, it won't validate, it'll want to find the </A> tag.
However, when I write a document containing, say, <a name="foo" /> it
validates in XHTML 1.0.
I'm obviously missing something here, as this confuses me somewhat. Does
the magical / make the empty a element valid?...

Morning all,
I'm having a wee problem with a project I'm working on at the moment.
I'm leading my company into producing a website, based upon Web
Standards, which will be created using XHTML and CSS, and powered by
ASP.NET.
My first problem, which I'm near to solving, was that ASP.NET doesn't
produce valid XHTML output. We don't want to spend money on third-party
components, and we can't wait for ASP.NET 2.0, so we needed to find a

Hi,
I am having difficulty getting the ASP.NET framework to generate valid
XHTML. My immediate problem surrounds user input in, for example, textbox
controls.
I consider characters such as less-than and ampersand perfectly valid in
user input. So I've disabled request validation by adding the following to my
web.config file.
