Hi,
Site: http://www.os42.com
I am trying to keep my site validated but having trouble with a plugin. The Gamerz poll hack includes some tables and  .
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Part of the reason I stopped doing polls was their lack of validation, though that was a few years ago :) -

Posted 7 years ago #Simple fix. The output for the poll creation needs to self-terminate the [input] blocks. that is,
<input type="radio" name="poll-6" class="poll" value="34">
should be
<input type="radio" name="poll-6" class="poll" value="34" />
The extra slash before the ending is required. I add a space for readability, though it may not be required.

Posted 7 years ago #You want a closing / before the terminating > for the inputs -- there are a number of them in the form, all need the forward slash.
If you can't quickly figure it out, I can post a modded polls.php later.

Try that out -- I think I've fixed all the validation issues, and made the output HTML a bit more readable while I was at it. ;)

Posted 7 years ago #Excellent David,
Thanks very much - first time I have seen a true validation since installing the poll.
I am not sure what you did but whatever it was - it's great :)
Thanks again... -

I just added a "/" before the closing ">" of each "<input" block. Rewriting the quoted strings made it a bit easier to see (a bit, not much) the ends. There were at least three (but I think it was five or so total, did an img tag too).
