Validating pages with Scripts

   Frihost Forum Index -> Scripting -> Html, CSS and Javascript

I've been trying to get my pages to validate here lately and I've run into a problem.

Right now, the errors I'm being given have to do with some scripts. It's a Google news bar that's generated with AJAX.
I guess my first question is, does it really matter. Are the few error WC3 finding with the script really going to make a difference.
If so, how can I go about fixing it?

If your trying to validate to XHTML, enclose script lines in:
Code:
<![CDATA[     ...      ]]>

Or use an external resource.

No, validation isn't that big a deal. If your HTML is badly invalid you might have problems with browser compatibility, accessibility and search engine indexing.

I never validate anything - if it works in major browsers and is made up of simple xhtml, nothing is wrong.

Yea. If not necessary, you can save the scripts in separate .js file and pull it from there.

The site template might be valid. But, if you try to validate a page with its content, you will end up invalid markup in some cases. The reason is, because, many people write the content in Word Processing program like MS Word and then they paste it on the page. Word Processing is nice but not for the web sites. It will create weird characters in the content..

just separate your js codes as much as possible, and include it into the html file, so that it won't less the file to load on the server
