No HTML validation of spry

Hi
After inserting a spry xml, and validating the page in Dreamweaver, I got the following msg:
<the tag "div" doesn't have an attribute: "spry:region" in currently active versions [XHTML 1.0 Transitional]>
<the tag "th" doesn't have an attribute: "spry:sort" in currently active versions [XHTML 1.0 Transitional]>
<the tag "tr" doesn't have an attribute: "spry:repeat" in currently active versions [XHTML 1.0 Transitional]>
code:
<div spry:region="ds2">
                                <table>
                                  <tr>

                                  <tr spry:repeat="ds2">
Can someone help me out ?
Thnx a lot !

Including HTML tags in Spry XML data sets

How does one add HTML tags to Spry XML data sets so that the displayed items include that markup?
For example, I might want to bold-face words within XML data items. I have tried adding the markup, but instead of seeing, for example:
This is bold face
in the Spry table, I see:
This is <b>bold</b> face
I have tried using CDATA elements in the XML to no avail.

Set the data type for the column as per
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("myData.xml", "rows/row");
ds1.setColumnType("myColumn", "html");

Html Validation icon shows in IE but not in Mozilla

html Validation icon shows in IE but not in Mozilla
Hi, All,
I use DWMX 2004
I placed the hmtl validation icon at the bottom of a template
so that
each page could be conveniently validated.
The icon is showing all right, both locally and online, in
IE, but it is
not showing in Mozilla.
What can I do to fix this?
www.tudo.co.uk/testing/rishton/shell/contents/contact/contact.html
The icon should appear underneath the up-arrow at the bottom
of the page.
Here is the template, with html extension for your
convenience:

Hi, thanks for this information about Firefox. Hope someone
else may
have an answer for Mozilla.
Concerning the validation errors. I know about the million of
validation errors, we are upgrading a site from doc type
'transitional'
to doc type 'strict'. We have the site on a test server, put
the
validation icon first, let it point out the errors, then fix
them one by
one. When they have been fixed the site is published. (i.e.
we are not
claiming the site is valid when it isn't).
If somebody else can reproduce the problem in Mozilla I
should be most
grateful.
btw, I am Adrian Stock (=Adrian.Stock22), do not know why I
am showing
on the screen as 'domain unknown'.
Ah, perhaps I did not log in properly.

Html Validation issue

In checking for W3C HTML validation for a page on my site I
was shown to have 17 errors. 14 of which seem to be as a result of
including links to a remote site with a long url which the
Validator tries to validate.
if you want to see what I mean put my page
http://www.tormented.org.uk/Pages/inpatient/inpatient_bx.php
(Username: gp
Password: adoctor
through the W3C validator.
It would seem imposible to satisfy the Validator under these
circumstances. Am I right?

Try changing the ampersands in the url to & - it
should then still work,
and will pass validation.

How do I disable HTML Validator?

I am using Firefox and Gmail. Lately, when composing mail, letters are slow in showing up and sometimes they seem to freeze. According to Google the problem is the Firefox HTML Validator, which should be disabled. Who do I do that?

HTML validation

It doesn't appear that HTML validation has gotten much attention here on the Apex forum. I did a search here and in the OTN forums at large and found no threads with the phrase "HTML validation" in them. In any case I'm trying to go down that path, meaning that I'm trying to create an Apex application wherein the HTML produced passes validation using the W3C validation tool.
Interestingly enough, I always thought Apex did a great job of producing valid HTML. Turns out it's not so good when you check it using the W3C validator. There are all sorts of quirks that show up that don't make a huge difference in display or function but they don't pass muster in terms of standards based HTML or XHTML.
One of the things I found that's quite pervasive, and probably a relatively easy fix, is that when ampersands are inserted into URLs (using things like the #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# substitution string) that those ampersands are not properly escaped and this causes a bunch of cascading errors as a result.
So my question is this: is anyone out there from the Apex development team at Oracle looking at this? Or is it not even on the radar?
As far as I'm concerned, it would be really nice to be able to run an Apex app through the W3C validator and have it pass with flying colors. Does any one else care about this? Or is this thread just going to die a quick, quiet and painless death?
Where do you stand on HTML validation? Is it a moot point if your application looks/behaves the way you want it to?
In case you want to try this out for yourself take a look here: http://validator.w3.org/

If this was fixed it would be a lot easier to identify more significant problems.
So my question is this: is anyone out there from the Apex development team at Oracle looking at this? Or is it not even on the radar?Although the ampersand issue has not been fully resolved, there has been resolution or improvement of a lot of the areas that caused validation errors at the time of that post. However (to the indignation of the majority I suspect) I would have preferred more progress in this dull and invisible area than on more obvious enhancements, on the grounds that getting the basics sorted would provide a better platform to develop these new features on, with less possibility of [introducing further non-compliance in those features|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3228587&#3228587].
Does any one else care about this?Yes. See links above. I was trying to find the time to jump into that current thread.
Where do you stand on HTML validation?Coincidentally, I came across a link to this earlier tonight, which as it turns out is close to my own thoughts on XHTML and validation. Browsers are more forgiving than compilers (as a programmer I wish that they weren't), so (X)HTML and CSS validation plays the same role in my XHTML/CSS workflow as the first pass through the PL/SQL compiler does with database code, or lint-type tools do in other languages: it generates errors and warnings that inform me that there is something wrong with that code. If I can fix it I do, but if it comes out of the APEX engine rather than a template...
Is it a moot point if your application looks/behaves the way you want it to?Looking at the way HTML and CSS are used in the built-in templates, the solutions provided in this forum, and some of the projects I've worked on, that seems to be the majority view. Little or no thought is given to using semantic HTML to provide structure, or CSS that uses anything other than basic class selectors (even [<font> elements usually put in a Forum appearance every month or two|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=998662]), and standards-based development in APEX has suffered because of it. Arguments have been made that it was/is necessary either due to lack of (cross-) browser support, and/or to reduce the learning curve for those starting with web technologies. The former is (thankfully) becoming less of an issue, and I have disagreed with the latter point since it was first put forward: that was the recipe for [tag soup|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_soup] in the first place.
It would be preferable to be in the position where the level of standards compliance in our applications was completely in our own hands through having control of all the outputs generated by APEX, either through some kind of exposure of the engine, or a move to entirely template-based output. Those who have a preference or need for standards compliance would be able to make the necessary efforts and the rest could ignore it. I'd like to have that option.

What happened to my HTML Validator? It disappered after I updated the message that said there was an update to the HTML Validator. This is how I validate all my work.n it told me

No longer seeing the HTML Validator on bottom bar nor can I find it in any menus

If it was working in Firefox 4 it should work in Firefox 5
You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.
But that would not be a good solution go to the addons site
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html-validator/
Look just above change summary in the reviews it tells you to use
For those with Firefox 5.0, a compatible version 0.9.0.6 is here: http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/new_upgrade4.html
which the author's site, but if you click on "view all versions" at the bottom of the addons page you will see the author has submitted it and you pick it up as experimental.

W3C HTML validation

I use DWmx2004, and have occasional questions about W3C HTML

I do value the help of this forum, but wonder if I should
take validation questions elsewhere?
If you think I should, can you point me to a good forum on
the subject?

Why would your questions not be appropriate here?

HTML 5 and Spry.. Making custom attributes valid

The HTML 5 spec is still a "Editors Draft" but doesn't mean browser haven't started intergating it. While i was reading through the specification i noticed that HTML allows you to specify custom attributes on elements (see: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#embedding-custom-non-visible-data ). We all know Spry also uses custom attributes for the Spry dataset. These are typically prefixed with spry:action_here=""
At this point its not valid HTML even though, when serving your page as xhtml it should be valid.. as xml allows you to specify custom attributes as well. But that aside, with the release of HTML5 getting closer and closer we could make Spry attibutes valid if we started prefixing all custom attributes with data-
For example:
spry:region="ds1" => data-spry:region="ds1"
spry:if="0 == false" => data-spry:if="0 == false"
A switch to the data- prefix would require very little editing of the existing spry files. The only thing users would have to do, is switch to the HTML5 doc type declaring to make it valid. As this doc type has backwards compatiblity and do not force IE6 in quirksmode i feel this is better alternative to externalizing the custom attributes or waiting for browser to support extended doctypes.
So i wonder what you opinions are on this . Is Spry ready for HTML5 and is HTML5 ready for Spry ?

Am I excited about the upcoming HTML5? YES! But not because it validates our Spry attributes.
Spry, if used properly, already works well and the fact that it is not validated by W3C can be regarded as a curious fact. Sort of like a driver of mine that has not been validated by Microsoft; without the driver my hardware does not work. So what do I do?
Well for some people its not a problem that the pages do not validate. But there companies and clients who value validation. Its understandable because people are overhyping it. In this case, it would allow to validate out of the box, without any changes to your code. Making it easier for starting developers and create a W3C valid document.
I am excited about the new HTML5 elements that will be introduced, hopefully making life easier.
Well doesn't really make a life easier. I'm currently creating my online resume in HTML and its harder... Normally you would just use divs for almost every layout wrapper now you got to choose between aside, section, article, details, hgroup, header etc. So much elements to choose from, but using them wisely is the hard part.
I am not excited about the fact that HTML5, being backward compatible, will come with the deficiencies of its predecesors
I am confused about the near simultaneous release of XHTML2. Where is the logic? Cannot the regulators and validators agree on a standard? I guess not. Even the browser-producers cannot agree on a standard. Remember the confusion with audio and video tapes?
All of this confusion only adds weight to my argument, who cares about W3C validation or Microsoft validation? if it works it works!
Some people like it strict some people don't, for performance reasons i actually choose for the loose version. It allows me to build a more compressed file .
Video codec wars are fun to.. Ogg vs MPEG. Using flash as fallback or silver light for unsupported browsers, or just generate multiple formats.. Hard to choose.. I personally hope h.264 codec will be used because its quality wise its much better. But we will see what the browser vendors will decide.

Spry Validation in Spry Detail Region

I am trying to pre-populate an "update" data form using a
spry detail region. Basically a list of users is displayed on the
left, and the detail in a tab on the right. A second "edit" tab
displays a form that is populated with data from the spry dataset
using a detail region (just as the first detail tab). However, the
spry validations within the detail region do not work.
Download
this zip.
Thanks for looking.

Hi jmortimer,
What you need to do is trigger the constructors for your
validation widgets every time the region updates. To do this, you
need to either move the constructor calls into your region, *or*
call the constructors from an onPostUpdate observer on your region.
To see an example of this, look here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample2.html
Just a note ... don't move the constructor for your tabbed
panel into the region. Leave it where it is today.

Open an html file inside spry collapsible panel

Greetings,
Using CS5
Does anyone know the CSS code/possibility of opening an html file inside the Spry panel?
I've tried the following code:
.CollapsiblePanelContent {
background-image: url(lookoutgraph.html);
Is there a better CSS element for calling up an html file?
For what it's worth...the html file I'm tring to open uses a <canvas> tag. When opened by itself, the html file has no problem opening and displaying the canvas data.
Much Thanks!

With the exeption of images, to add external content to a document you will need to make use of either serverside or clientside code.
Have a look at the SpryHTMLPanel here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/htmlpanel/html_panel_sample.html
Otherwise, please supply a link to your site so that we can come up with alternatives.

Using javascript to dynamically generate the html for a Spry table

I have some javascript which generates html code for a Spry
table which displays the content of a Spry data set. The problem is
that after I generate the html, Spry never fills in the values for
the table.
Here's what I'm doing:
Using a data set observer, check for onPostLoad and generate
the html code
Using innerHTML, stuff the code into the appropriate
<div>
Use regionName.updateContent() to update the region I just
created with the html code I generated
Interestingly, if I take the generated source for my page and
remove the data set observer, the Spry table displays correctly
with all the expected values. This suggests to me that my generated
html code is correct, but that there is some sort of timing issue
(i.e. Spry doesn't know about the new code I generated).
Any suggestions?

I'd guess that it is a timing issue as well. I haven't looked
much at the dataset capability in Spry, but it may be that the
dataset "finds" all of the regions and code that it applies to
before the onPostLoad event is triggered. If that is the case, then
your generated code doesn't exist yet,and so the dataset thinks
that there is nothing for it to apply to.
Will the HTML that you generate change based upon the dataset
that is actually returned? I guess I'm looking for the reason why
the HTML is being generated when it could be in the page itself and
avoid this issue completely.

Formatted HTML output with Spry regions - is it possible?

I have recently begun using the XML export extension in
conjunction with an Access database to output dynamic data into a
page with a Spry master/detail setup. So far, my simple example is
going great, but I've run into a snag that I need some help with.
To explain what I'm doing - it's a simple article page with
the list of articles on the left with the title and date and the
article title and full contents on the right hand side. So far it's
all working very well, updating in real time when I click an
article title on the left. The problem is the output with this one
field which stores not only text, but also HTML formatting that is
generated by a wysiwyg editor used on the article creation side of
this little app. This HTML formatted content is the article body
and is stored in a field named the same - "body". With traditional
ASP, the HTML formatting displays as expected and all is well, but
with Spry, it doesn't output formatted HTML, but instead shows the
content and HTML code together as text. How can I get this one
field ("body") to be output so all the HTML formatting is shown?
This is my simple page example. Click through and you'll see
what I mean.
http://www.shoestodyefor.com/ajax.asp
Here's the section of code in question regarding the output
on that right hand panel where the body is displayed for each
article:
<div spry:detailregion="ds1">
{title}<br />
{entryDate}<br />
<br />
{body}
/div>
Is it possible to have that {body} section shown so the
dynamically created HTML code from the wysiwyg editor is displayed
correctly?

The version of Spry that ships with Dreamweaver CS3 (Spry
1.4) doesn't
support the type of output created by the XML Export
extension.
This issue has been corrected in Spry 1.5, but no plans have
been made
public for integrating Spry 1.5 into Dreamweaver CS3. You
would need to
download Spry 1.5 from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/.
Details
of how to hand-code the fix for output from XML Export are

Displaying rendered HTML text in spry detail region

Hi,
I have just started to play around with DW CS3 & spry and
love them!
I have a Master/Detail spry going from my database, but am
having a problem displaying the detail the way I need it. The mySQL
field is a BLOB for some HTML formatted text (I get the text
elsewhere using a Xinha textarea edit widget and load the the
formatted HTML text into my db). For example, my string is
"<h2>this test</h2><strong>xyz</strong>"
which is loaded into my db. I am using the dreamweaver ADDT export
XML functionality to generate my spry master/detail region.
My detail region is displaying the correct html associated
with the selected master table entry, but it's with the HTML tags,
not rendered as HTML (I don't want to see
<h2>title</h2>; I'd like to see title with <H2>
formatting).
It's much like what I think a RSS feed would be, but can't
find a way just to get the html to render because I don't have the
files externally to source an iframe or anything. (I tried a XLS
fragment transformation, just putting the detail record field that
I want in an XLS file, but that didn't do anything).
Any kind of guidance, hint, point and laugh but then tell me,
would be greatly appreciated. I also posted at first at ADDT and
then General Dreamweaver because I didn't locate this forum in the
Forum topic list, so when I did find this I thought this is
obviously where I should have first posted - sorry if anyone has
also been surfing around. Thanks so much so any info.

Hi Don,
Thanks so much for responding. I actually did do that, but it
seems like I might be doing it in the wrong place. I tried it in
the .js that I have in my header:
var dsList = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("./export.php",
"theSpecials/special",{sortOnLoad:"rating",sortOrderOnLoad:"ascending",distinctOnLoad:tru e});
dsList.setColumnType("detail", "html");
which didn't do it. I also tried it right in my detail
display area:
<div style="overflow:hidden; width: 400px;"
spry:detailregion="dsList">
<div> 
<div id="detailDisplay" style="width:380px; "> 
<script
type="text/javascript">dsList.setColumnType("detail","html");</script>{dsList::detail}

</div> 
</div> 

</div>
Excuse the inline ugliness, will clean it up when it's
functional. But that doesn't seem to do it either. I am storing
that particular field as a blob in the mysql database, but I
already tried making that a VARCHAR which had no effect either.
Thanks so much for for the suggestion! Any other gems that I
can try?
Liz
