That’s why I don’t use poll plugins or google search on my site. None of them will validate.
Thanks

Hi mlankton,

Thanks for the comment m8.

It seems you managed to nab my website while I was fiddling around with the AddThis plugin (which I talk about in a recent article).
It seems their default code doesn’t validate. I fixed it, thanks for the head’s up and the comment!

This page doesn’t validate

I got my site to validate XHTML 1.0 Strict last week. I served it properly as application/xhtml+xml for a couple of days, but after I was unable to get any of the ads to work in xhtml I went back to serving text/html. Hopefully the advertisers get their act together and start putting out XHTML compliant code.

My css is next. I have like 6 errors in my css, which will be an easy fix. However, I use a couple of Yahoo style sheets for the navigation, and they are full of errors, so my css will never validate with the theme I am using.
