W3C errors in the DNNMenu 

Hi all.

By upgrading to the latest DNN 4.8.3, the latest modules and a xhtml1.0 doctype setup, skin and container i have only 5 errors left to solve.

They all appear in the following lines, which are generated by the menu:

                <dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" CSSControl="main_dnnmenu_bar"
                    CSSContainerRoot="main_dnnmenu_container" CSSNode="main_dnnmenu_item" CSSNodeRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem"
                    IndicateChildren="false" CSSContainerSub="main_dnnmenu_submenu" CSSBreak="main_dnnmenu_break"
                    CSSNodeHover="main_dnnmenu_itemhover" />
in the skin aspx file.

The html code is here and the bold is the errors:

  1. <span><div width="100%" class="DNNMenu main_dnnmenu_submenu" name="dnn$dnnNAV$ctldnnNAV" id="dnn_dnnNAV_ctldnnNAV">
  2. <span name="235" id="235"><span class=" "></span><a class="main_dnnmenu_rootitem " href="/Default.aspx?tabid=235">Start</a></span>

3 of the errors is "There is no attribute width" or "name"
1 error is a problem with the <div
1 is the id= which may not start with at number.

(See them here http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frsyd.njhvidberg.dk&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1)

The problem is that i cant find where to make the changes.

Anyone to help?

Re: W3C errors in the DNNMenu 

You would have to change a lot on the NAV menu, it is not an easy task.

The easier way would be to use an undodered list menu like Housemenu, but you would have to do the menu CSS all over again.

In DNN 5.0 the menu should be XHTML compliant (it already is in the non public beta now).

Re: W3C errors in the DNNMenu 

If DNN5 can validate xhtml1, then i can wait on that :-)

Housemenu? Ill try to look at it, does it validate?

Agreed with Timo.

Also, you might want to check out telerik RadMENU as well because HouseMENU is still having some issues with cross-browser compatability. Telerik gives the entire package of web standards and accessibility benefits.

Re: W3C errors in the DNNMenu 

Housemenu does validate since it renders a normal unordered list

Never use the CSS that comes withthe Housemenu, but make your own. Then there are no cross browser problems (if your CSS is good enough;-)
