b2evolution seems to create invalid XHTML for empty bloglist

1 Feb 09, 2007 13:10    

It looks to me like when a skin generates an empty bloglist, the b2evolution engine (or something that it uses) generates invalid XHTML:


<ul id="bloglist"></ul>

The XHTML validator complained about this:

Error Line 32 column 22: end tag for "ul" which is not finished.
<ul id="bloglist"></ul>
Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, <head> generally requires a <title>, lists (ul, ol, dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.

Crack open /skins/_bloglist.php and change this bit of code :-

// Output:
echo $blog_list_start;
echo implode( $blog_list_separator, $blog_links );
echo $blog_list_end;

to this :-

// Output:
if( !empty( $blog_links ) )
{
  echo $blog_list_start;
  echo implode( $blog_list_separator, $blog_links );
  echo $blog_list_end;
}

Thanks!

Is this fix in the default skins in the next version of b2evolution? If not it might be worth applying so that those skins don't generate invalid XHTML.
