HTML validation

Hi list,

Currently, Mapbender delivers HTML 4.01 Transitional. Unfortunately, the
generated code of our template applications has more than 100 (!)
errors.

I have taken the liberty of addressing this issue in the changeset at
[1].

This changeset fixes most issues, with the following still open
* all forms must have a submit button
* iframes must not have mouseover/out events (introduced recently for
elements in tabs)
* script tag for map.php is in the wrong place (not sure where to put
it...tried the body, but that resulted in JS errors)

I think we should deliver flawless HTML with the advent of Mapbender
2.7, and add a symbol like [2] to each application. You may have noticed
that HTML validation is part of Mapbender's Definition of Done [3]. Each
developer should make sure all contributions match these criteria.

Talk to you soon,

Christoph

Hello Christoph,

thanks for your investigations and the fixes. It would be good to fix
the rest of the code and be able to add the symbol [2].

Maybe we can set the topic on the agenda for next monday. I am curious
about some more information on this.

Astrid
