Problems with Site W3C compliance

Report · Apr 12, 2011

Hello Everyone,

We are having a big of compliance issues with some of our sites, which we've traced back to coldfusion automatically inserting script tags in our header.

Little Background.

Running Coldfsion8,0,1,195765
Java 1.6.0_10

The code error we are running into is that it's inserting the following lines into the header, which breaks W3C XHTML Strict Compliance:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<head><script type="text/javascript">_cf_loadingtexthtml="<img alt=' ' src='/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/cf/images/loading.gif'/>";

"";

"/CFIDE/scripts/ajax";

'//';

'';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/messages/cfmessage.js"></script>

script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/package/cfajax.js"></script>

We have noticed that this seems to be fixed in CF9? We are note a very large company, so we can't afford right now to upgrade to CF9, and we were wondering if there is a hot fix, or even a code fix that can eliminate this error?

I don't know of any fixes, but there might be one out there. I would look in places like cflib.org http://www.cflib.org/ and RIAForge http://riaforge.org/.

I also don't know how much work this is worth to you.

But if you can not find a pre-built solution, I can suggest one way you could approach a Solution.

With the Application.cfc OnRequest method, it is possible to capture the output generated by ColdFusion and do some post-processing manipulation before it is returned to the client. Depending on what is breaking the compliance and how hard it is to convert into a compliant form it would not be too hard to do string manipulation to modify the output text.
