    XHTML 1.1 Compliance

    I'm having trouble getting the w3c validator to validate some code as XHTML
    1.1 compliant so I though I'd seek help. The validator doesn't give me any
    error messages for this code, it just tells me it isn't compliant. I realize
    it's not that nice to look at, but it's generated by a php script and trying
    to make the html look nicer would make the script look worse.

      Wow that's extra bad, not sure what happened there, it didn't look quite
      that awful before.

          Okay, but bear in mind it's against spec. to serve XHTML 1.1 as text/html
          (thus excluding Internet Explorer from viewing your pages). You'll
          probably want to go to XHTML 1.0, following Appendix C for pages meant for
          the WWW.

          It looks like a bug in the validator. Send a report to the www-validator
          mailing list:

          <URL:http://validator.w3.or g/feedback.html>

          PS: It's preferrable to send a URL to a testcase, not paste code in. People
          can't point the validator to pasted in code.

              Sorry about that, I would have but I didn't have anywhere to host it. I've
              been writing it on a system that's connected with dialup so it wouldn't be
              there long if I hosted here.

                  Why XHTML 1.1? Get rid of the presentational junk (align and border -
                  not too serious but far too many of them) and make proper use of
                  <th> and the scope attribute, and you have a good XHTML 1.0 table.
                  By using 1.1 you're excluding a majority of web users.

                  Can you put that at a URL where we can see the problem?
                  Don't Page Valet or the WDG Validator give you a full report?

                      Not exactly. There's a W3C Note about the subject, but it's not
                      explicitly stated in the XHTML 1.1 spec.

                      And to think, some people still resort to server-side scripting or URL
                      rewriting for that.

                          There's nowhere in the XHTML 1.1 which says that text/html is
                          allowable for XHTML 1.1 either, or that text/plain is. Also XHTML 1.0
                          states that only Appendix C. compatible XHTML may be served as
                          text/html and for many documents (all that have followed wcag
                          guidelines) it is impossible to be both Appendix C and XHTML 1.1

                          Jim.
