Hi,

how can i change the linebreaks in 2.3.1
<br /> is not WDG compliant

My guestbook is W3C valid, but WDG validation fails due to this problem.

Technically <br /> is valid for both HTML and XHTML. What is WDG? W3C I know as they are the ones who decide what is HTML, CSS etc.

at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ it says

Line 290, character 5:
<br />

^Warning: net-enabling start-tag; possibly missing required quotes
around an attribute value

and at http://www.validome.org/ it says

Line Column: 5
288 Error: Slash "/" found at the end of a start Tag. This syntax is not
allowed in HTML!
Error Position: <br />

at W3C, everything appears to be valid, but is there a way to get my guestbook through these validation procedures too?

W3C are the people who say what is valid and what is not. The others are being far to restrictive. Do a search on the W3C site in regards to the BR tag and you will see what is valid.
