Yesterday, I wrote a post about using Alex King’s WordPress Mobile Edition plugin<\/a> (wp-mobile) to generate WordPress content formatted for the mobile web<\/a>. wp-mobile makes the code generation seamless; however I did have a few issues when I came to validating the output at the ready.mobi<\/a> site. After a few hours (remember, I’m an infrastructure bod and my coding abilities are best described as weak) I managed to tweak the wp-mobile theme to produce code that validates perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The changes that I made to the wp-mobile index.php file can be seen at Paul Dixon’s PHP pastebin<\/a> but are also detailed below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add an XHTML Mobile Profile (XHTML-MP) document type descriptor<\/a>: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/WAPFORUM\/\/DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.wapforum.org\/DTD\/xhtml-mobile10.dtd\"><\/code>. Incidentally, I didn’t include an XML declaration (which looks like: <?xml version=\"1.0\" charset=\"UTF-8\" ?><\/code>) as it kept on generating unexpected T_STRING PHP errors and it seems that it is not strictly necessary if the UTF-8 character set is in use:
    \n

    “An XML declaration is not required in all XML documents; however XHTML document authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all their documents. Such a declaration is required when the character encoding of the document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16 and no encoding was determined by a higher-level protocol.”<\/p>\n

    W3C recommendation for XHTML 1.0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Add some caching controls<\/a>: <?php header (\"Cache-Control: max-age=10 \"); ?><\/code>. 10 seconds is a little on the low side but it can be changed later and it means that the caching is unlikely to affect testing of subsequent changes.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove <meta name=\"HandheldFriendly\" value=\"true\" \/>:<\/code> this code doesn’t appear to do anything and is not valid XHTML-MP – media=\"handheld\"<\/code> can be used instead when linking the stylesheet (see below).<\/li>\n
  4. Change the stylesheet link method<\/a>: although <style type=\"text\/css\">@import url(\"<?php print(get_stylesheet_uri()); ?>\"); <\/style><\/code> should work, I found that the validator was only completely satisfied with the form <link href=\"<?php print(get_stylesheet_uri()); ?>\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"handheld\" \/><\/code>.<\/li>\n
  5. Provide access keys<\/a> using accesskey=\"key<\/em>\"<\/code> inside the <a><\/code> tag for each of the main menu items.<\/li>\n
  6. Surround <?php ak_recent_posts(10); ?><\/code> with <ul><\/code> and <\/ul><\/code> tags – this bug took the most time to track down and was the final change necessary to make the markup validate as XHTML-MP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I also made some minor changes in order to fit my own page design (adding a legal notice, etc.) but in order to get the elusive 100% in the report for this site<\/a>, there was one minor tweak required to style.css: removal of the height: 1px;<\/code> rule for <hr><\/code>. I understand why it was there but the validator didn’t like it, suggesting that relative units should be used instead (I would argue that 1px is far more logical for a horizontal rule than the use of relative units but this change resulted in another pass on the report).<\/p>\n

    Right, enough of these mobile diversions – I’d better focus my development efforts on getting the rest of this site to be fully XHTML compliant…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
