WC3 Transitional Complence and Menus VS2005

[Just Me]

Hi,

I dont know if anyone has discovered this problem, but the code being output
by the menu conrols seems to produce invalid transitional code and I end up
with this message from the validator

Line 43, Column 286: there is no attribute "valign".
8281250" alt="Expand Courses" valign="middle" /></td>

Has anyone seen this, got a useful comment etc ?


Cheers

that is an error message of the w3c validator

..NET 2.0 does not product XHTML compliant responses.

http://www.google.com/search?q=.net 2.0 xhtml compliant

There are some solutions if you absolutely need it to be compliant.

Im not agrguing this one. But this is the only issue ive had with
complience, so Im not saying your wrong, but it sounds wrong.

 

[bruce barker]

you can write a control adapter for the menu to make produce xhtml
compliant code (this may break downlevel browser support). see:

I always like a good argument, but the search results I provided shows
a whole bunch of different workarounds to the fact that generated code
is not XHTML compliant.

Now thats interesting .

PS: What I have since discoverered is that the term valign="Middle" does not
actually exist on my page, but there is a style attribut with
vertical-align=middle. I think the validator has got its nickers in a twist
here and I have reported it to them, so we shall see.
