It’s just data

The Validator Is Your Friend


First Kudos to the Yahoo! team for quickly fixing the problems identified in yesterday's post.  Now that the server is well behaved, onto the client.

Taking the PHP sample and running it through the W3C validator and fixing all the problems it reports results in the following version.  Fixes include internationalization, avoiding a number of browser quirks, and potential security problems from not properly escaping data from third party sources.

I also removed one assumption that required the script to be placed in the root directory.

The result is being made available under the same BSD license as the original.
