Strict validation issue

  • Hi there,
    unfortunately the latest version of the plugin triggers a validation issue on sites having doctype XHTML 1.0 Strict.
    The error is the following:
    required attribute "type" not specified
    and it is caused by this JS code:
    <script>jQueryWP = jQuery;</script>
    which is added by the following PHP code:
    $content = preg_replace( $pattern, '$0<script>jQueryWP = jQuery;</script>', $content );

    The fix is quite easy, just add a type="text/javascript" to the <script> tag. I hope that you can fix this in next version, as it prevents correct validation.

    I’m curious if you’re actually using XML features on your sites. I’d thought everyone had given up on the “HTML as a valid subset of XML” dream a decade ago. I’ve pretty much embraced HTML5.

    Hi Mark,
    sure, HTML5 is the new trend, but there’s still plenty of sites and themes that are based on XHTML. The sites for which I made this request were made a few years ago and use XHTML themes based on the Genesis Framework, which I suppose you should know very well. By the way Studiopress is still providing several XHTML themes besides the new HTML5 themes.
    At the end of day, I would recommend to add the type="text/javascript" in order to ensure validability with all themes out there.
    Thank you.
