Validation error

Hi maxoud, thank you for reporting this. One of the plugin developers will assess your finding further.

Regards

We will look into this.

@maxoud is your issue resolved?

@mbrsolution As of the date of the version 4.1.7 it’s not resolved.

Hi, can you check the following documentation. Let me know if this helps you.

Thank you

@mbrsolution, thank you, but that documentation is on the wrong topic.

Here is StackOverflow question on the same topic I mention and here is the solution if you have problems with non-empty form action.

It’s not a big problem but it’s the only validation error shows up on my pages (and not only my). Validator error is:
Bad value for attribute action on element form: Must be non-empty.

Sorry, you are correct. I don’t know what I was thinking when I read this thread. My mind was somewhere else.

The plugin developers will research your issue further.

Thank you

Hi, You can ignore this validation warning that you are getting. HTML5 is still in an experimental stage. We can’t make changes to the plugin that may not work on some older browsers. Our main priority is to make sure the plugin works on a wider browser base. We would rather have it work everywhere than be picky about minor things (that we know for sure won’t cause any issue).

In the future when HTML5 becomes the base thats when you can validate against HTML5 and expect no warnings.

@mra13 I don’t want to generate controversy but despite of HTML5 here is action attribute definition from 16 years old W3C recommendation for HTML 4.1:

action = uri
This attribute specifies a form processing agent. User agent behavior for a value other than an HTTP URI is undefined.

Empty action is not a valid URI so you can’t be sure what’s the action will be assigned by UA. While HTML 4.1 covers pretty wide browser range.
