On building a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional Document!

Posted September 27, 2003 3:34 PM.

This won't mean a lot to a lot of people, but I just thought I'd report (with a certain amount of glee) that I just wrote a template for a friend's website and ran it through a validator and it validated immediately!

It's a far cry from the normal validation horror I experience, where I find myself many hundreds of errors away from web guru nirvana. I'm quite proud of myself. Having said that - I would of course be more proud of myself if I could sort out the validation issues around plasticbag.org...
