How to get gallery script to validate?

[jonjonz]

1) Script Title: Advanced Gallery script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/agallery.htm

3) Describe problem: Will not validate at W3C. The validator will not accept the subject attribute.

Any way to get this to validate other than not using it?

I have used the script for some time, but someone recently pointed out to me that it causes my pages to fail validation at W3C.

Thanks,

The problem is that subject is not a valid attribute which fails validation.

Better yet, replace it with title instead:

<div class="gallerycontent" subject="What is JavaScript?">
.
.
.
<div class="gallerycontent" subject="Java & JavaScript Differences">
.
.
.
<div class="gallerycontent" subject="What is DHTML?">

...and change highlighted into title:

for (i=0;i<totalDivs;i++){
var thesubject=partscollect[i].getAttribute("subject")

...and if you're serving your page as XHTML, then you should surround your script into CDATA islands, or better call it externally.

Hope that makes sense.
