View Full Version : Minor html errors in zoom search results

The img tag Zoom generates for filetype images needs a closing / in order to be fully xhtml-1.0 compliant (validator.w3.org):

<img src="img.gif" alt="" class="result_image"> should be

<img src="img.gif" alt="" class="result_image" />

Apparently the html tag should also include a couple of attributes, e.g. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> rather than just <html>

Fixing these points would help us plough through other html errors in our own pages. Grateful if you could check and confirm. Thanks for v6 - splendid.

You can edit the HTML tag yourself in the search_template.html file. See also,

As the correct tag depends on your language, it makes sense that you set it whatever makes sense for your site.

Regarding the missing "/" for XHTML in image links, we are only fixing critical bugs over Christmas. But we are planning a significant patch release for mid Jan 09 to fix a bunch of minor issues like this.
