People like Google and others add stuff to his webpages to fix general
problems. I call that hacks "Crown Control Hacks".
One of that hacks is rel=nofollow, other is autocomplete="off" (that
one is created by mozilla, I think).
This make my XHTML validator cry, and show a ugly red error number > 0.
I want my XHTML validator happy, and show a error=0 in big, green letters.
So.. maybe I can use the X in XHTML and *extend*
Thats my first attemp (one to extend XHTML to add autocomplete to a input box.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
[
<!ATTLIST html
xmlns:goo CDATA #FIXED "http://zerror.com/google/autocomplete"
>
<!ATTLIST input autocomplete CDATA #IMPLIED>
]
>
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:goo="http://zerror.com/google/autocomplete" >
<head><title>Example</title></head>
<body>
<input type="text" name="search" autocomplete="on"
value="Looks mon, no hands!" />
</body>
</html>
Of course, don't work:
- The validator seems happy with the code. (WIN!)
- Browsers hate my code and show the "]>" , but maybe is me... tryiing
to run XHTML on HTML browsers with the wrong mime type.(FAIL!)
Any idea?
It has to run on IE and Firefox. (NOTE: I use text/html to make IE
happy, but If a different mime type can help, I want to know)
