Validate This!
Good news sportsfans. charlieperrins.com is now fully validated to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype. The W3C is my friend again.
Thanks to a nifty bit of PHP the validation link will only appear in the footer of pages which do actually validate on my site. That means that if I add new ones which have ‘teething troubles’ the link won’t display and no-one will be traumatised.
For example – the page you are reading right now doesn’t validate because WordPress’s comment form is buggy. I didn’t write this bit of code, it’s part of the WordPress core, so am loath to get into correcting it until I have a bit more time on my hands. Hence, you won’t find a validation link in the footer on individual blog posts. Blog category pages are OK, as are all the top-level pages on the site.
Only the most hard-core of standardistas will really be interested in this, but it’s worth highlighting charlieperrins.com’s compliance with W3C standards, because I bring the same level of dedication to my clients’ sites.
