Invalid link sample code

Author: M.Katsma (23 Oct 07 3:19pm)

I've just installed a Honey pot on one of my sites. Included in the package is a file called linking_instructions.txt with sample code for creating a graphical link back top this site. Great idea... but the code is actually invalid.

The sample code in the file is this:
<a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org?rf=50916">
<img src="{url_of_img}" height="31px" width="88px"
alt="Stop Spam Harvesters, Join Project Honey Pot"></a>

It should be - for HTML:
<a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org?rf=50916">
<img src="{url_of_img}" height="31" width="88"
alt="Stop Spam Harvesters, Join Project Honey Pot"></a>

and for XHTML:
<a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org?rf=50916">
<img src="{url_of_img}" height="31" width="88"
alt="Stop Spam Harvesters, Join Project Honey Pot" /></a>

i.e, no "px" in witdh and height attributes (that's CSS, not HTML!), and for XHTML the img tag should be closed.

Yeah, we need to go through and update that as well as the HTML of the little HTML button -- the markup of which is completely messed up and has been since we launched the Project. We're working on some fundamental technical issues right now (like coping with a 8x increase in our mail volume on the same hardware). As soon as we get that taken care of there's a lot of housekeeping around the site we need to do.

Thanks for your help with the Project.

Matthew.

Well, if I can help out with HTML and standards compliance, let me know!
