XHTML 1.1 and CSS Validation

Posted 59 days ago

Because I was bored for a few minutes after work today, timfanelli.com is now:

Valid XHTML 1.1

And, my CSS validates as well:

Valid CSS!

I checked the validation against the main page, and several individual entries... obviously, some pages may still not validate because I placed invalid XHTML1.1 code into them, but I'll fix those up as they're discovered.

This Page is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

Spent a couple minutes this morning touching up my Blosxonomy flavour and CSS to make this site render in valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional markup!

Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

It's the little things in life that make me happy. It was actually pretty easy to do - my markup was relatively well formed to begin with. I simply had to add the DOCTYPE element:

<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

To my head template, and change a bunch of

<div id="bla">...

to

<div class="bla">...

And update my CSS accordingly (changing hash marks to dots).

Of course the continued validity of my markup requires me to use wellformed XHTML markup in my posts, but I try not to go too crazy with the markup, just simple paragraph tags, links, and the occassional image element - it's kind of hard to mess those up.

Once I do some more sanity checking I'll post my flavour over at Blosxonomy so there'll be an xhtml 1.0 transitional flavour available.
