javascript and Markup Validation Service

[JamesGMills]

Hi,

I am having a few problems and i dont know how to fix it to be honest. I am trying to move from HTML to XHTML and i am using the

http://validator.w3.org/

tool to help me.

The site is at

http://tte.xpansys.com

and when i validate the code its all problems with javascript.

ERROR E.G.
for (var e = 0; e < form.elements.length; e++) {

This is from:

...
function PostForm(form,Address,ArticleID) {
for (var e = 0; e < form.elements.length; e++) {
var el = form.elements[e];
...

If you run the site through the validation tool you will see there are also some more problems that i am having but i dont know what to do about them? Is there something i am doing wrong?

Thanks

After spending some time on this I have found out that they are not errors they are warnings so I am happy.

They are not errors, the page valiodates they are warnings!!

however to be 100% you need to 1. you should place this around your scripts...

<script type="text/javascript">
[b]// <![CDATA[[/b]

script stuff

[b]  // ]]>[/b]
</script>

and escape any charachrers & = &amp; > = &gt; etc..

try putting your script in comment tags, something like

<script>
<!--
your javascript goes here
// -->
</script>

this will make it work in older browsers

I would actually recommend that you put your script in an external js file then provide a link to it. For example create a file called javascript.js with all your code in it, then in the head section of your html

<script src="javascript.js" type="text/javascript" />

Thanks for that... we do use an external javascript file now but i think its a asp include at the moment. I will take a look.

Thanks for you input people... i will get back onto this on monday.
