Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated as I try to validate for XHTML 1.0 Strict

Ah, I was under the impression that didn’t count, as it’s inside JavaScript code.

Apparently not! Because on my blog I moved that code outside of onsubmit and into an include file (the same code, just put elsewhere), W3C didn’t pick it up on my blog.

Have updated my post. Thanks again for the correction!

Hi Peter, thanks for your email and reply! Sorry for the mess

In your code there’s a straight & in the following line:
onsubmit=”window.open(’http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=xxxxx&email=’

…juste before “email=”.

I wouldn’t have paied attention to this until the W3 validator hit my fingers! lol

This way you have the valid code for 1.0, too.

Take care!*

I know what you mean - replace & with & (you have to type it twice to show it up here in the comments, like &!)

Where do I need to replace it? I can’t spot anywhere (other than in JavaScript, where I think it’s OK to do so) where I’ve used a straight &.

- Can you edit my previous message, please? The HTML code for “&” has been implented!

I meant replace “&” by:

&

Thanks!

Thank you very much for sharing this tip!

It works pretty well in Strict 1.0, too, except you have to replace the “&” by “&”.
