mambo 4.6 still not producing valid XHTML ...

ralle · 04.05.2004, 13:05

As Mambo 4.6 beta is announced and running on http://www.mamboserver.com/ I decided to give it a try and run the w3c validator on that site. I've heard that the xmambo developers (who created an xhtml compilant version of mambo) have joined the mambo core team, so I expected the new version to validate.
So I was quite disappointed that Mambo 4.6 beta is not one dot better than mambo 4.5 concerning xhtml compatibility.
The recently announced typo3 3.60 produces valid xhtml now, but it is harder to work oneself into it.
The version 5 release is still far away, so the only short term solution to create validating code is to use xmambo, but which may be incompatible with existing modules or components...

I think it very much depends on the used template. The software can be oh so xhtml valid (which i am sure it might not be at 100%) but if they use some template that is not fully xhtml it doesnt help it.

right now i am working on a template for mambo 4.5.1 and when i run the validator, the only problems that are shown are a result of the template.

i hope that helps you

Dear Mamber,

You started this thread in the Feedback forum. This forum is only used for feedback about this mambers.com website, NOT about Mambo itself. Your problem is not about this website but about Mambo. Therefore this should be posted in another forum. This way other mambers can respond faster to your questions/remarks.
I moved it for you, please post in the appropriate forum next time, you will get faster and better answers there!

Regards,

The moderation team

I don't know about this post, but MamboHacks.com is validating in XHTML 1.0 (at least the frontpage

). The issue here are more on components or modules that are not complying.
