XHTML validation with Shared Borders

[Guest]

I'm trying to validate a site which uses shared borders to XHTML 1.0. I've
fixed all the usual errors (doctype, unclosed img and meta tags) but have hit
the wall on one.

Since the site uses shared borders, the meta tag
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">
is required. I've inserted the trailing slash (...default" />) to close this
tag and thus pass the validation. However, each time I save the document, FP
removes this slash.

Is there a way to tell FP to knock it off, and leave that tag alone?

Thanks,
Marc

Have you tried right clicking in code view and using Apply XML formatting rules

No. Also the tag is invalid since the name="Microsoft Border" should
not contain spaces.
Best option is to remove shared borders, and use include files or a
Dynamic Web Template (FP2003) instead. Or build a website that works
in all browsers, but does not validate.
