It would be nice if all the pages at OpenEuphoria.org would successfully validate for XHTML and CSS. However, they don't. See the following:
wiki < this is the weirdest case, with the validator reporting a 404:page not found error. ?!?!

The main page template is found in our SVN repo under /tools/euweb/trunk/source/templates/euweb.etag

The forum index now validates:
Not any more ... 
It doesn't like all the » entities because they don't end with a semi-colon.

Um, it says it is valid. I'll look at the 187's though.

I don't see any #187's in the forum index? I see them on the view page, where you view message content, however, there, they all have a trailing ;.
Can you give me a URL that you are looking at?

That's just insane. A link exists and it has a query string, ?name=John&age=30... It complain's of the & in the query string. I can't see making people copy/paste a URL in, then changing all the & symbols to a & I guess we could do it in software, but what a silly thing.

I checked it two ways.
- Using Opera, I went to the forum index page and right-clicked to get a context menu, then selected "Validate".
- Using Opera, I viewed the page's source html and saved it. Then went to http://validator.w3.org and asked it to validate the saved file.
In both cases, I got the same validation errors.

Ah! I see why... When I validated by URL, the w3 validator is not an admin, thus the "Recent Users" section didn't render for it. When you right click, you're sending it the authenticated view. Fixing.

Ok, that's fixed, deployed and tested.

The same rules for escaping HTML apply inside attribute values as well. <>&" and ' must be escaped.
Also, having a URL with a " in it causes a server error.

Derek,
Do you have any ideas about escaping these values in the URL field? They are occurring in creole formatted texts, for instance, someone pastes into a creole link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=cessna+150&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10 It really should be: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&;source=hp&q=cessna+150&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10
