Search plugin causes page to fail XHTML 1.0 Transitional Validation

[heatherfeuer]

I have been working on my web hosting site, updating it to CMSMS and ran across something interesting.  I create my pages and check for validation using the Firefox Web Developer tools.  The CSS validates no problem.  However, the HTML triggers the following:

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

  1. Error Line 41, column 237: there is no attribute "onBlur" .

      ...defaultValue) this.value='';" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value=this.defa

Line 41 contains the following:

Code: Select all

<label for="cntnt01searchinput">Search</label>: <input type="text" name="cntnt01searchinput" id="cntnt01searchinput"
 value="Enter Search..." size="20" maxlength="50" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue) this.value='';" 
onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value=this.defaultValue;" />

I have search all over the search module files to find where this "onBlur" line is, but can't find it.  Why is this particular function there, is it really needed and why does it fail?

this is to make prepopulated text in the search text box disappear and reappear automatically when you click in and out of the box. to make it validate, you just need to make onBlur lowercase... ie. onblur.

You originally didn't mention what version of CMS Made simple you're using.  but this should be fixed in 1.0.5, and if not it is fixed in 1.0.6

CalGuy, I have 1.0.5 installed on that site, but I've downloaded 1.0.6.  I'll get it upgraded and check again.

Moorezilla, I was going to simply take it out, but I couldn't even find where the actual reference was!

action.default.php

run a search on "hogan"

It's fixed in 1.06; I just checked.

Well! That was really obvious, huh?    I'll definitely be upgrading!

A good rule of thumb: if something goes wrong, see what the rhodesian ridgeback is up to.
