W3 xHTML Validation Errors on jQuery code!
- by Chris
I have some jQuery code that, without it in the document it passes validation fine, but with it in it causes errors. The code in question is here:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "data.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {
//Update error info
errors = $(xml).find("Errors").find("*").filter(function ()
{
return $(this).children().length === 0;
});
if (errors.length == 0)
{
statuscontent = "<img src='/web/resources/graphics/accept.png' alt='' /> System OK";
}
else
{
statuscontent = "<img src='/web/resources/graphics/exclamation.png' alt='' /> "+errors.length+" System error"+(errors.length>1?"s":"");
}
$("#top-bar-systemstatus a").html(statuscontent);
//Update timestamp
$("#top-bar-timestamp").html($(xml).find("Timestamp").text());
//Update storename
$("#top-bar-storename").html("Store: "+$(xml).find("StoreName").text());
}
});
There are loads of other jQuery code on the page which all works fine and causes no errors so I cannot quite understand what is wrong with this. The page isn't "live" so cannot provide a link to it unfortunately.
The error it lists is
document type does not allow element "img" here
And the line of code it points to is here:
statuscontent = "<img src='/web/resources/graphics/accept.png' alt='' /> System OK";
It also has an issue with the next assignment to statuscontent
