A bit of XHTML and Smarty

[seymourjames]

Why would this piece of code not validate XHTML 1.0 transitional. Any ideas? It really does not like it.

{foreach from=$pageNumber item="entry"}
{if $entry.number == $pageNum}
<td class="paginationNum"><strong>{$entry.number}</strong></td>
{else}
{if $entry.number == 1}
<td class="paginationNum"><a href="{$file}?{$entry.link}" title="{$newtitle}">{$entry.number}</a></td>
{else}*
<td class="paginationNum"><a href="{$file}?{$entry.link}" title="{$newtitle}- {$entry.number}" class="paginationNum">{$entry.number}</a></td>
{/if}
{/if}
{/foreach}

What is the error you are getting?

[seymourjames]

Column 3: character data is not allowed here .
<td class="paginationNum"><strong>1</strong>
✉
You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include:

putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>), or
forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or
using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as <meta ... />) in HTML 4.01 or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML.

it only validates if I put the {$entry.number} in " " but then it prints them out.

You could try this:

   <td class="paginationNum" style="font-weight: bold">{$entry.number}</td>

Did you want to pull the class designation out if your specifying the style details inline?

[seymourjames]

Sorry, none of these suggestions work. Same error. I cant see it even though I am looking at the XHTML guides.

How about this:

<td class="paginationNum" style="font-weight: bold"><span>{$entry.number}</span></td>
