Description David 2009-07-08 15:28:16 UTC
m.wikipedia.org is not validating:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/

Even a transitional html validation doesn't work so well.

But there are some obvious mistakes regardless of validation:

i.e
1) This link is missing a href=" surrounding quotes:
    <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/mobileRedirect.php?to=http://en.wik

2) While some links use href=" double quote and others href=' single quotes, which is a bit weird.

So many problems here!

Uh... 1 is fixed.

2 is... totally not important. Sorry... but do people really stress about that. We are getting input from multiple sources.

Working on overall validation though. Got a lot of stuff fixed so far.
Comment 3 David 2009-07-25 08:39:47 UTC
RE 2: Ok, so you mean it's because the links are being pulled as is from somewhere, some with " and others with '

It shouldn't matter, but sometimes it does :) Also, the more valid the page is, the faster it can rendered, without having to fallback to alternate parsing methods etc.

Thanks for working on it!

Seems to have been fixed. Validates XHTML 1.0 Transitional now.
