[TYPO3-dev] XHTML compliant ?!

[x3n]

Hello,

Ok, I got it. When you're trying this (selected=""), you've the
following message:

	Error  Line 91 column 441: syntax of attribute value does not conform
to declared value.

	...u/la-voip/chunk/ch01.html" selected="">1. La VoIP</option><option
value="fran

	The value of an attribute contained something that is not allowed by
the specified syntax for that type of attribute. For instance, the
“selected” attribute must be either minimized as “selected” or spelled
out in full as “selected="selected"”; the variant “selected=""” is not
allowed.

And when you're trying selected without anything else, you've got also
an error ! (the one you copy in your last mail)

Thie first message is wrong, or not very clear. I'm going to inform them
of the "mistake".
