XHTML Strict

Hi Fish thanks for the input

[html]

<meta name="keywords" content="" />

[/html]
It created it with just HTML instead of what it suggests below

Running this through the validator at:
http://validator.w3.org gives the following error:

Many Document Types based on XML need a mandatory xmlns="" on the root element. For example,
the root element for XHTML will look like:
[html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"]

It appears that the out of the box XHTML 1.0 strict is failing compliance.
Are we doing something wrong?

Probably - but you've provided insufficient context / information for us to help you.

If you want to post HTML code - surround it with

[html]...[/html]

tags (the square brackets are literal - do not use angle-brackets '<')

I don't know what you're trying to do or what's outputting your html code but here is what you're html code should look like to be validated as xhtml strict:

[html]

<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

[/html]

you don't need the doctype but it's recommended you use it. validation will just give you a warning about it. Also on your meta tags you should make them self closing otherwise make sure there is no space between the begin and end meta tag or you'll get a validation error.

Yes, I understand what you are saying.

What I was trying to show was that the Standard XHTML 1.0 strict site type
that you can specify does not
put the
HTML tag with xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en

It has just HTML with nothing else

Do I have to tell SitePublisher to include the
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en

Hi Again
We are still having issue with XHTML 1.0 strict.

We have created our own Page-Type which we have defined to be XHTML 1.0 strict

We are having a problem with the pages are rendered.
The <SCRIPT> and tags are being produced with the attribute XMLNS=""
Examples:

<script xmlns="" type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/events.js"></script>

XMLNS is not valid compliance for the LINK and SCRIPT tags

These are being added from the CSS and Javascript resources assoicated with the page.
I have compated our custom page type XSL file to the one provided by Interrwoven for XHTML 1.0 Strict.
The one provided by Interwoven is missing the
Attribute "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" in the HTML tag.
With out the above attribute the XMLNS is not added to the SCRIPT and LINK tags but it still fails XHTML1.0 compliance because
the attribute: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"
is missing from the HTML TAG

It appears that there is a bug in the Transformation code but I don't know where to look or if this is something that can be fixed or should it be a bug report to Interwoven/Automony

I have uploaded the files in question
XHTHML-Strict is our file
div-interwoven-layout.page is the default div-layout page that comes with SitePub

Mostly just fixing the formatting in your post so it reads a bit more clearly.
Have you tried modifying the XSLT to include something like this?[html]
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";
