Now I have stucked into validation. It may be nerdy with w3 and all that, but I really like the idea of some ISO-like standard for the web.
There’s actually no problem getting html pages validated, but most of the web contains errors and work fine anyway.
The thing I wonder is: What doctype (DCD) is the html file that is generated by flash? For example, w3’s validator says there is no attribute “LEFTMARGIN” and there’s no tag such as \. Of course there is, but not in that DCD. (flash generates no DCD)
Is there a way to get around this an make a tidy code? Should one bother at all?
Check your sites here (or check w3 itself!)
