Hoping, wishing and finally having had the time and patience over the last few hours, I’m now able to state that I’ve made the move to valid XHTML for this particular page. Lots o’ back and forth, playing around with javascript, what little of it there is. With XHTML tags, etc. meant to be in lowercase, who but me would miss (what seemed like ages) why the validator didn’t dig my original onLoad event handler?
In other back-end news, I’m also just now getting to figuring my way around Textpattern so as to make updates (hopefully) easier and a lot more fun. A delicious, George Foreman grilled cajun chicken dinner for you if you’ll swing by and hook me up. Any takers?
