itemprop error

    Hi, I’ve scanned my HTML with a validator and I’ve found some errors on itemprop syntax.

    “Exactly one of the ‘name’, ‘http-equiv’, ‘charset’, ‘property’, and ‘itemprop’ attributes must be specified on a meta tag.”

    In fact I see that we have <meta name=”description” itemprop=”description” …>

    Thank you

    I think the validator is reporting a false error. It says that itemprop must be specified on a meta tag and as you can see from the code it is specified on a meta tag. I believe this is an issue we’re addressed before in these forums where the HTML validator just doesn’t like or understand Schema.org markup.

    I think that the validator is reporting another kind of error.
    It doesn’t like that on the same meta tag there are “name” and “itemprop” attributes.

    Probabily it can be solved using a meta with “name” attribute and another meta with “itemprop” attribute.

    What do you think? Am I right!?

    That would result in invalid Schema markup which would presumably affect whether search engines read and use it.
