I really want to use shoholaunch, but the code isnt valid xhtml 1.0 strict complient, I have hacked the install to make it complient but would like to use without hacking.

When is the next version? and will it have valid code?

cheers

Anyone? Hello?

Thank you for your interest in Soholaunch. The code produced by Soholaunch's program in the upcoming release will remain similar to that of the current and past versions even though the features and functionality will be enhanced. You are welcome to send me an email and I'll put you in touch with our development team.

I just had to chime in here.

Anyone doing a simple, quick googling on "xhtml 1.0 strict" would learn very quickly why Soholaunch is not "compliant". And why virtually all publically available websites will not validate as "xhtml 1.0 strict", and why generally it is not good web programming practice to develop public websites using "xhtml 1.0 strict."

This "standard" has been in place for over six years, yet is not, and virtually cannot be implemented under normal real-world circumstances.

I am a bit concerned that all of the posts by simonok in different forums here concerning this issue could lead others to assume that something is "wrong" with Soholaunch when nothing could be further from the truth.

You literally cannot have full cross-browser compatiblity using that standard.

Even Mozilla (the Firefox folks) recommends against using xhtml. They say, "because incremental loading of XML documents has not been implemented yet. Serving valid HTML 4.01 as text/html ensures the widest browser and search engine support."

The most important concept for public web pages is that they look and act the way they are supposed to look and act using the installed base of web browsers that the end-users are actually using.

Zapper nearly all sites I design are xhtml 1.0 strict, and they work with ie and firefox, and nearly all other browsers. I spend a lot of time to make this happen.

I am pointing out that its not valid code so for me that is a problem, its stopping me buying the software! and if others want valid code then soho might not be for them.


I must stress that soho ticked all the boxes but that one, I`m really, really want to use it but the html it generates is really bad for my purposes.

I even started to re-write the php and did get the code to validate, I mean if I can hack it to get it working why can't the developers?
