Xinha FYI, not HTML 4.0 compliant

Post by Jabrwock »

It's just something to note, but xinha uses XHTML 1.0 standards, which will make your browser scream in agony if serendipity is set to use HTML 4.0 and your browser checks for HTML standards compliance (which mine does... it's pretty anal about standards... :P).

So I would recommend xinha only if you are making your site XHTML compliant. Otherwise it might potentiallly cause wackyness in older browsers.

Only potentially though, most browsers can handle the standards mish-mash.

Actually we've dropped the HTML4.0 support in Serendipity 1.1 and emit XHTML properly on all pages, which is IMHO the better way to go in the future.

Virtually every browser supports XHTML, and those which doesn't are security wise so broken that they should no longer be used *g*

But thanks for the heads-up! It might be worthful for users searching this forum about the issue!

Best regards,
