FP 2003 - Validation errors in web bots

[Malcolm]

line 43 column 16 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 45 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"

HTML Tidy reports errors in web bots such as the examples above. Am I
correct to assume that there is nothing I can do to correct them without
amending the programming of FrontPage itself?

 

[Steve Easton]

The line 43 warning is telling you that the script tag needs a type attribute:
<script type="text/javascript"> or whatever type script it is.

As for the line 45 error, someone would have to see the page and view the code.

Thank you for your reply. The errors are in a sub web to which access
is restricted to members.

However I am not asking how to correct the errors but if it is possible
to make a correction? As I said these errors are from web bots in FP
2003. So do I have to assume that the source of these errors is hard
coded into the part of the FrontPage programme that generates web bots.

For example this line and the javascript that follows it:
<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="../_borders/top.html" TAG="BODY"
--></td>

that in view source is displayed as:
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" s-type="sequence" s-orientation="horizontal"
s-rendering="graphics" b-include-home="FALSE" b-include-up="FALSE"
u-page="sid:1059" startspan --><script language="JavaScript"><!--
MSFPhover = etc etc

produces the following errors:
line 43 column 16 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 45 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"
line 45 column 356 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 47 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"
line 47 column 343 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 49 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"
line 49 column 378 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 51 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"
line 51 column 377 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 53 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"
line 53 column 366 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute
line 55 column 16 - Warning: <a> proprietary attribute "language"

The include file webbot is as valid as the file being included.

The FrontPage navigation component will only pass validation if themed
buttons are used with "active" graphics disabled (but this will still
include attributes such as border="0" in the image tag which may be
better styled with CSS). Text based navigation will include the <nobr>
tag which never made it into HTML 3, and themed navigation buttons with
rollovers do not include the type attribute in the script tag.

The problem lies in the FrontPage program itself. The workaround is to
use your own navigation instead of FrontPage components, or not use
"active" graphics in the theme.
