What is this error is related to ?

Hi,

Today I checked my website using HTML validator and I noticed that there is a strange error there :

[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.vetarena.com/community/ - W3C Markup Validator

Any help to solve this issue is really appreciated.

thanks

This is poor design if this is what vb has done. The shouldn't have made a JS var from a string with name=value& style parameters.

Code:

var SESSIONURL="";

and of course, the editor eats it. The ck editor is garbage :(


There's a & in the var and there shouldn't be.

Thanks for the reply Brian,

Here is the related source code to this issue, but thereis no "&" there !!!???

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="$stylevar[yuipath]/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="$stylevar[yuipath]/connection/connection-min.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var SESSIONURL = "$session[sessionurl_js]";
var SECURITYTOKEN = "$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]";
var IMGDIR_MISC = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]";
var vb_disable_ajax = parseInt("$vboptions[disable_ajax]", 10);
// -->
</script> 


Do you have any idea ?

again thanks

Brian I noticed something strange on my server, there is 3 vBulletins hosted on my server, all of them have this error when I check using Validator.

I haven't done anything recently but installing mod_pagespeed.

is it related to this mod?

Hello Ali,

Do your sites get validated if you temporarily disable that add-on?. If so, then it could be the culprit of the issue.

When you view source,

var SESSIONURL = "$session[sessionurl_js]";

actually gets complied into

var SESSIONURL = "s=" SOME STRING&'"";

Which is causing the "s=" to be the var, and then the actual remainder of the session string is invalid code. It's possible that its coming form the mod.

Thanks Brian And Andreas,

Well this mod is installed on my server not vb. but my forum was 100% validated before installing it so I think its related to it.

What is your idea about using mod_pagespeed on the server ?
