Validating Your Code
there might be reasons for you to validate the Yahoo! Web Analytics tracking script
against an xHtml validator for compliance, such as company standards for xHtml
validity, thus assuring consistency in document code across the organization. If that is
the case, you have to make slight changes to some elements of the tracking script, such
as the script type and the
img
tag.
Find the elements that you need to change and their changed versions here:
version 4
<script language=”Javascript” type=“text/javascript“>
131
<img alt=“”src=”http://yourwebsite.com/p.pl?a=1000xxxxxxxxxx&js=no”
width=”1” height=”1”/></noscript><!—//—>
this code shows a few small edits to the tracking script. once this is done, you
should be able to have your code xHtml validated.
