FS#1569 many javascripts not working in xhtml 1.0 strict
CSS, XHTML, JS, Browsers

When using a XHTML 1.0 Strict Doctype, many JavaScripts stop working. (Only tested in Firefox 3 and Opera 9.)
3 unimportant scripts:
* The AJAX-call in the index does not work. (Not that important because of its unobtrusiveness, browsing the index still works,)
* The AJAX-search does not work in Firefox. (We can live with that as the normal search does not need any JavaScript and, of course, works.)
* Folding and unfolding the TOC does not work. (Not too important as well.)
But 1 important script:
The ACL manager is not usable. In Firefox, because as soon as you try to select a group or a user (either per drop-down or per text input), the important part where you can specify the permissions does not appear. Opera does not share this error, but has another one: As soon as you select a page in the file tree, you get redirected to that page.
The only work-around is to *disable* JavaScript. (Again, because of the unobtrusiveness it will work without JavaScript, but unfortunately not with a broken JavaScript.) -

The new linkwizard won't let you choose a page or open a namespace. The chosen link opens in the browser instead. -

I can't reproduce this with any browser I've tested (Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.13, Internet Explorer 8, Chrome 9.0.570.1 dev) - and yes, I think I have changed the doctype correctly, the W3C validator tells me I'm using XHTML 1.0 Strict and that there is an error in the XHTML. Two additional comments:
- I'm not sure if we should care that much about fixing our old JavaScript code as the bug might be gone with the jQuery rewrite (if it exists at all).
- If we want to support XHTML 1.0 strict we should also care about removing invalid attributes like the align attributes on images. -

I just retested with and Firefox 4.0, Chrome 10.0.648.204 and Opera 11.01. Most of the errors are still there, some of them even worse:
* In Opera when clicking on a namespace in the file tree, the whole page (i.e. the ACL manager) gets loaded as a sub item.
* In Firefox and Chrome the TOC doesn't even show the toggle arrow. (Which is definitely a JS issue, because the whole markup for it is missing from the TOC header.)
* The sitemap/index behaves even more erroneously than before.
I haven't tested too extensively. (Otherwise I'd probably have found more bugs. ;-) )
Yes, I agree that fixing these issues don't make sense until after the jQuery rewrite. I'd still leave this bug report open, but don't agree that it should be "Due in Version: April 2011 release". After the jQuery rewrite is done, these issues (and probably more) will need to be re-tested anyway.
As for the align attributes, see FS#1351. -

BTW, how to use XHTML 1.0 Strict: http://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:xhtml_strict
I should have mentioned, it's not just about the doctype. A strict doctype also needs to be served with the correct content-type. (Otherwise it's invalid.) I never tested with just the doctype changed. -

The main problem seems to be that the tagName attributes are in XML all lowercase instead of uppercase like in HTML, but we test only for uppercase. The HTML that is loaded over ajax in the ACL manager is not valid XML (it contains ), that's why that loading fails. -

should this still be considered an issue?
xhtml1.0 strict is on its way out. we now use "<!DOCTYPE html>" -

Yeah, maybe we can close this in favour of FS#2550? -
