Before some of you newbies feel like being heroes and jump all over me:
I KNOW THIS IS A PHP-RELATED LIST. IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY QUESTION, DON'T
ANSWER IT.
Now that that's out of the way... I have a Javascript question (and
maybe a Browser/DOM question) for you folks. I'm not sure this is
anything they teach you in any online/in-seat/self-taught Javascript
course that I've ever seen before, so I figured I would bring it here.
My boss asked me if I knew of a tool that would change the <!DOCTYPE> of
a page on-the-fly to test validation in different schemes (i.e., XHTML
Strict, Transitional, Loose, etc.). After a bit of looking around, this
is the solution I came up with (as a bookmarklet):
javascript:document.write('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>' +
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML);
However, I'm not sure it will fire any validation events, since
technically the page has already been loaded (Javascript is just adding
more text). I fear the case will be the same if the current page's
source is sent to a new browser window.
I'm not asking for any coding suggestions, necessarily--just curious as
to whether or not anyone knew if this will invoke browser validation
events or not. Comments and questions are more than welcome, though. :)
Cheers!
