Hi Everyone, I'm having a problem validating some links I have in a foreach.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
my PHP code:
$categorys = array('home', 'services', 'gallery', 'about_us', 'contact_us',
'testimonials');
foreach($categorys as $category){
$replace = str_replace("_", " ", $category);
echo "<li><a href='index.php?page=$category'>$replace</a></li>";
}
Validator Error:
an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters
?ome>home</a></li><li><a href=index.php?page=services>services</a></li><li><a
h?
I have tried various combinatons and different doctypes. I'm beginning to
wonder if this code is allowed at all.

David:
First of all, the type (strict or transitional)
of DOCTYPE doesn't matter -- it only matters IF
you are going to use deprecated HTML elements
(transitional) or not (strict).
Second, your <li> (i.e., list) should start with
a "type of list" tag, such <ol> for ordered list
-- there are several different types (i.e., ol,
ul, dir, menu, dl dt dd).
Third, you might try this:
echo("<li><a href=\"index.php?page=$category\">$replace</a></li>");
The Validator might be objecting to the way you use ' instead of ".
