Validating XHTML with RDFa and Facebook like button 

Posted by on Sunday, May 6, 2012, 10:39 PM - 0 comments
If you are trying to validate a XHTML+RDFa page with W3C's validator tool you'll receive an error stating that iframes are not compatible with the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd"> doctype.

The workaround if you are using JQuery is to append that iframe after the DOM is fully loaded. Here is a sample code how we're doing this:

$(document).ready(function(){
            $('.facebookLike').after('<iframe src="your-url-goes-here" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:400px; height: 70px;"></iframe>');
     });


You must have an element with defined class right after which the JQuery will append the iframe. It could be a simple <span class="facebookLike"></span>.

Also the above javascript code must be within included javascript file and not directly in the HEAD tag.

Here is a link with validated page using this workaround:
