Flickr badge and XHTML validation
After recently implementing a Flickr sidebar linking to my favorite photos, I today noticed that those pages with the sidebar no longer validated as XHTML 1.0 Strict. Manually fixing the code resulted near-success, with the exception of an <iframe> tag. In frustration I eventually started trawling Google, and found this page. Bingo! Commenting out the javascript will fix it!
To summarise what is needed:
1. Move the Flickr <style> ... </style> code so that it is within your page's <head> block.
2. Change one instance of <br> to <br />
3. Replace <script type="text/javascript"> with <script type="text/javascript"><--
4. Replace </script> with --></script>
That's it. The badge should now validate.
