xhtml 1.0 strict with javascript

Sergio del Amo Caballero · Oct 15, 2003

Hello,
I want to validate my simple page with xhtml 1.0 strict. But i want to
use javasript inside. When i try the validator the answer is:

Error:
# Line 33, column 39: there is no attribute "onClick"
<a href="http://www.marca.com" onClick="newwindow();return false">Click
Here!<..

newwindow is a function.

How can i use javascript inside xhtml 1.0 using for example onClick or
onMouseover with a valid xhtml 1.0?.

My Doctype is this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">

Waiting for your feedback.

I want to validate my simple page with xhtml 1.0 strict.

Why use XHTML 1.0 strict, so few browsers support this, HTML 4.01
strict is much more supported, I'd recommend switching to that - tidy
will automate it for you.

(or alternatively you can read the actual xhtml documentation and note
that attributes are all lower case)

Weird... i've got this in my XHTML 1.0 Strict page...

<a href="#" onclick="someFunction();">click here</a>

.... and it validates perfect. Try that?

That sounds right. I read somewhere that all XHTML tags and elements
need to be in lowercase.

in XHTML all the javascript events should be in lower case, i.e.: onclick,
onmouseover, onblur etcetera
