ways to make AJAX site as XHTML Valid

[iota]

Hi webmasters,

I've found backbase ajax site as XHTML Strict Not Valid.

Please check :

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.backbase.com

Are there ways to make this valid ?

Thanks.

sounds more like you're not building your site correctly. i have a site that uses ajax, it validates.

In fact, it seems like your code is very procedural...


var oBrowser = {};
var _sUA = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
oBrowser.ie = (document.all && !_sUA.match(/opera/) && !navigator.appVersion.match(/mac/i)) ? true : false;
oBrowser.moz = (window.controllers && (parseInt(navigator.productSub)>20031001)) ? true : false;
if (oBrowser.ie) {
try {
oBrowser.compatible = oBrowser.ie && new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
} catch(e) { oBrowser.compatible = false };
} else {
oBrowser.compatible = oBrowser.moz && new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (!oBrowser.compatible) {
var redirpath = location.hash.match(/^#((home|dev)\/.*)\.xml(\[\d+\]?)?$/);
redirpath = redirpath ? redirpath[1] + ".php" : "";
location.href = "/go/" + redirpath;
}


why not use an object?

I just did a little more research for you, it primarily fairs validation because it can only validate a single namespace (part of the xhtml specification apparently). I'm not sure why you need to use multiple (especially since, at least with my understanding, you can't mix multiple namespaces in a single element).
