Hi!

I still don't get it.... it does not validate for me, and I receive these errors:
- XML Parsing Error: Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
- XML Parsing Error: attributes construct error
- XML Parsing Error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag a line 185
- XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: div line 185 and a

What is wrong??

It's because you add the galleries using your WYSIWYG editor. Such editors -unless fine tuned- generate <p> tags everytime you hit "enter" to change line. So, you wrote something like:

This is a cool article

Right below is my gallery
{gallery}photos{/gallery}

and some more text

So, right after "This is a cool article" you hit enter to change lines, correct? This action of yous generated <p> tags. Now, SIG Pro transforms the {gallery}photos{/gallery} tags to a few <div> elements. This is where validation fails.

You are not allowed to have <div> tags inside <p> tags. That's all. But this does not mean the site doesn't work? Validation is something not to be taken into consideration 100% of the times, especially when you deal with complex CMSs like Joomla... ;)

Nope!
It has nothing to do with <p> tags at all....

The site works, sure... BUT, it has to validate in order to get accepted by all major search engines! And this is vital to my customer...

So you see, I need a solution and I can't find any better image gallery than SIG Pro ;). What confuses me is that all other users seems to be able to validate it. Please have a look at this page: www.arizona.se/www2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=49

But I'm seeing the code man. You got this...

<p>
  <div>...</div>
</p>

This is what doesn't validate. The order in which elements are enclosed. You can have p elements inside div elements but you can't have div elements inside p elements!

Anyway, the search issue is totally unrealistic. Search engines are smarter than you think, especially google. ;)

Your galleries are just fine. Validation is required in case you're building a public sector website in Sweden, where they got strict laws and stuff. That's all.

OK, now you've made me curious...
WHERE oh where, do you see that code?? ???

I don't see it in my WYSIWYG editor AND I don't see it when I view the source of the page!

- XML Parsing Error: Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
- XML Parsing Error: attributes construct error
- XML Parsing Error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag a line 185

BR, P

I think I might have a solution to this problem. The code needs to be changed from using
to <br /> for it to parse XHTML validation.

So in mambots/content/plugin_jw_sigpro.php

// if labels don't exist
if (!$labels) {
	// display nice message?
	if ($displaymessage) {
		if ($popup_engine == 'greybox') {
		$html .= '<b>'.$itemtitle.'</b>'; // remove nice messages for greybox
		} else {
			$html .= $message.'
<b>'.$itemtitle.'</b>';
		}
	} else {
		$html .= '<b>'.$images[$a].'</b>';
	}
}
				
// if labels do exist
if ($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])]!="") {
	$html .= '<b>'.htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES).'</b>';
}

Should be

// if labels don't exist
if (!$labels) {
	// display nice message?
	if ($displaymessage) {
		if ($popup_engine == 'greybox') {
			$html .= '&lt;b&gt;'.$itemtitle.'&lt;/b&gt;'; // remove nice messages for Greybox
		} else {
			$html .= $message.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;'.$itemtitle.'&lt;/b&gt;';
		}
	} else {
		$html .= '&lt;b&gt;'.$images[$a].'&lt;/b&gt;';
	}
}
				
// if labels do exist
if ($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])]!="") {
	$html .= '&lt;b&gt;'.htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES).'&lt;/b&gt;';
}

This worked for me and now the XHTML validates, I hope this helps.

Hi,

Followed this thread and fixed some issues but I am getting this when validating.

Line 102, Column 35: document type does not allow element "style" here.
<style type="text/css" media="all">

This relates to

<style type="text/css" media="all">
	.sig_cont .sig_thumb a span.sig_pseudocaption,.sig_cont .sig_thumb a:hover span.sig_pseudocaption {bottom:10px;left:0px;}
	.sig_cont .sig_thumb a span.sig_caption,.sig_cont .sig_thumb a:hover span.sig_caption {bottom:10px;left:0px;}
	</style>
	<![endif]-->

	<!--[if lte IE 6]>
	<style type="text/css" media="all">
	.sig_cont .sig_thumb a span.sig_pseudocaption,.sig_cont .sig_thumb a:hover span.sig_pseudocaption {bottom:5px;left:5px;}
	.sig_cont .sig_thumb a span.sig_caption,.sig_cont .sig_thumb a:hover span.sig_caption {bottom:5px;left:5px;}
	</style>

Line 120, Column 36: document type does not allow element "style" here.
<style type="text/css" media="all">#sigid0.sig .sig_cont {width:210px;height:1

This relates to

$sigdata = '<style type="text/css" media="all">#sigid'.$sigcount.'.sig .sig_cont {width:'.($_width_final_+20).'px;height:'.($_height_final_+20).'px;}</style>';
		echo $sigdata;

I could try and move the styles to the main index.php but wanted to know if this had been seen before.
