straightryder Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I spent 5 hours trying to figure out why this code was not passing the W3C Validation. Kept going over and over an..... OVER THE CODE. Redid the page/ post i don't know how many times when it dawned on me after 5 hours... Why not just google " there is no attribute "aria-required" problem solved. Its for screen readers and its optional to remove the code. Unreal. So, what I learned... stick a note to your screen, "WHEN IN DOUBT: GOOGLE IT, MORON." Just thought I'd share this with everyone. lol Validation Output: 1 Error Line 191, Column 95: there is no attribute "aria-required" …me="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" aria-required='true' /> ✉ You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 'aria-required' is still in the working stages and is not part of the W3 standard. It's basically geared to those with disabilities to indenfity required input fields. Either live with it or remove it for now until it's part of W3.
