[SOLVED] XHTML Help Needed

~~Tom~~ · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2007, 11:48 PM

Need help here guys.

In my site I'm using XHTML 1.0 Strict with CSS. My pages Validate (W3C) fine, except for one thing: I need to add two elements in one tag/string, and not sure what is the correct syntax to seperate the items, while keeping them within the same tag.

This is a string sample:

Code:

<a href="http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/downloads/map'); ">

but in the string I need to add an additional 'onclick' attribute:

Code:

onclick="window.open(this.href); return false"

Can someone show me how to add this second element to the above string, that validates XHTML 1.0 Strict?

RESOLVED

I have found a resolution to my question below. In XHTML many HTML elements have been depreciated. Inserting styles in Strict has been more challenging, yet offering greater control.

One work-around to the problem, in long form, is to add a second line containing the second 'onclick' attribute.

However, the proper, and more shorter way is to add a semi-colon between the attributes, with the onclick=javascript attribute first, followed by the second.

This is the long way (but does work) in two seperate strings,

Code:

<li><a href="http://www.antivirus.comodo.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">Comodo Anti-Virus</a> Free life-time license (very good) | 34.4 MB
  <a href="http://www.antivirus.comodo.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/security_apps/Comodo_Anti-Virus');"></a></li>

This is the right way, each attribute seperated by a semi-colon,

Code:

<li><a href="http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/security_apps/AVG_Anti-Virus'); window.open(this.href); return false">AVG Anti-Virus</a> by Grisoft (very good software) | 20.4 MB</li>

I found the resolution at W3C: - XHTML Style Attribute Module
