AcidTech template issues - will not validate.

[kurgano]

Hello,

The AcidTech series of styles use "caption" tags and "thead" + "tbody" tags in the index_body.tpl files which don't validate with this style. (mixing HTML and XHTML). I ran the AcidTech demo site through w3c to make sure it wasn't just my site having a problem and its not.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freestylexl.com%2Fdemo% 2Findex.php%3Fstyle%3Dacidtech

32 errors is a little on the high side. Any suggestions on making the "caption" tag validate with this style ?

Also, the acidtech style has an "upload image here" feature built into the "posting" body for people to send images to a pre-determined remote host (postimage.org). If that site goes down so would this feature I assume?

Thanks for your input in advance.

Hi,

No phpBB template will validate even if the author makes it 100% valid. As soon as it is run in a live enviroment phpBB adds non standard code to the HTML.

And if postimage.org goes down then you assume right, you will not be able to use that feature.

If it doesn't validate, it doesn't mean code is wrong. Those are tiny incompatibilities that won't ever cause any problem with any browser.

And I guess you haven't tried to validate bbcode yet... try [list] bbcode
