Data Assist Creates Invalid Attributes

[johnlanglois]

The pages that I have created using WebAssistPro and DataAssist often will not validate according to an XHTML1.0 strict standard because Data Assist uses attributs such as "border=0", "name" or "nowrap".

If I remove those during a validation process will it wreck the functionality?

[Ray Borduin]

It shouldn't. It may be added for a particular browser that may not be xhtml complient. So maybe it won't display quite right in some odd browser under some odd circumstances but it shouldn't effect functionality, so if it still looks good to you it should be fine.

Ray - I have the same issues. It's not the functionality that we have issues with -- it's that these pages don't validate under current WC3 standards. Some of us like to develop pages that validate - and now they don't. http://validator.w3.org/

We will be validating against this standard in the future. Unfortunatly the html would have to be updated by hand in order to pass validation currently. We will be working on this problem in the future.
