Validating question.

[Claire Lescarret]

Hello,

I have devoted my time to write valid html 4.01 strict, and CSS-1 and 2
*but* I also have to use third party's code for webcounter (StatCounter) and
Google's SiteSearch, which are preventing my pages from validating.

I woudn't like to take away those services, but I also would like to show my
valid pages... Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Will the services still function if you edit the code to make it valid?
I'm sure that they would not want their code to be depreciated
StatCounter is pretty straight forward, remove the language="javas cript",
remove the target="_blank" , remove border=0, and add a enclose the <a
href=""></a> in a <p> element and it will validate.

The same should be true of the Google's SiteSearch, and you might need to
escape ampersands.

Statcounter is easy to get valid:

<!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=[your-number-here];
var sc_invisible=1;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.statcounter .com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscrip t><div><a
href="http://www.statcounter .com"><img
src="http://c1.statcounter. com/counter.php?sc_ project=[your-number-here]&amp;java=0"
alt="web site traffic analysis"></a></div></noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code -->

Spot the differences with your own code, and those changes are likely
to be the same for any other JavaScript bit of third party code.

Statcounter is a good third party service and easy to get valid. I use
their counter even for a XHTML page (used only for fun and testing
purpose) that validates: http://hem.bredband.net/b450204/
