I would like to use HTML 4.01 Strict, and used a DOCTYPE of it in my application template. But look like when a style sheet is included by a helper function
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'style' %>
the code produced is XHTML:
<link href="/stylesheets/style.css?1243210734" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
is there a way to ask Rails to produce HTML instead of XHTML? (so that the HTML will validate for example)
Just a quick fix to the included code above, which does work.
module ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper
def tag_with_html(name, options = nil, open = true, escape = true)
tag_without_html(name, options, true, escape)
end
alias_method_chain :tag, :html
end
Thanks for the tip!
Not really, no.
Edit: in line with my comment below, this should work (I still feel uneasy, but I can't think of anything that will break because of this)
module ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper
def tag_with_html(name, options = nil, open, escape = true)
tag_without_html(name, options, true, escape)
end
alias_method_chain :tag, :html
end
open argument. Plenty of Rails helpers explicitly set this to false, so the default will have no effect. Come to think of it though, in HTML there's NEVER a need to have a self-closing tag. So actually the examples should work if you actually just override the close parameter to ALWAYS be false.
