    some form elements not valid html Link to this post

    21 October 2007 at 5:42pm

    Hi There

    I noticed that some form elements do not produce valid html. Will that be fixed in the next versions or should I list this as a request? (i like all my code to be super valid... ;-))

    Cheers

    hi nicolaas,

    we're aware of this problem. its a bit tricky because we have to respect downwards compatibility with css-styling in the CMS and custom styling etc.
    (e.g. <span class="middleColumn"> should be <div class="middleColumn"> for proper HTML-nesting).

    we'd love to see some patches (if you're keen), optimally well cross-browser tested in the cms, and with annotations on what developers need to look out for when upgrading: http://open.silverstripe.com/#Submittingpatches

    I've came across this too.

    I just threw out that span-middleColumn thing... so far nothing doesn't seem to be broken yet.

    But now each time I upgrade I will have to adapt this manually.
