Hello

    I'm currently evaluating OFbiz for a project.

    Some days ago, I begun playing with the demo and I try to validate
the pages against xhtml.

    I use the tomahawk theme and the database loaded with the demo seed
data.

    I test the 261 pages which are accesible directly from the main menu
of each one of the 27 applications included in the demo menu (and also
those pages which are accesible from the top tab-bar of each of the
included pages).

    Initially near all the pages of don't pass the validation, but I
discover that there are a lot of minor issues, so and can't resist the
temptation and I start to patch it.

    Most corrections are only due to old html not being xhtml conformant
    - Unclosed INPUT
    - attributes without values (checked, selected, disabled, etc)
    - attribute values without "
    - Uppercase tags or attributes.
    - Unencoded ampersands in urls.

    But as I get rid of those I've found some real errors, and correct
most of them.

    Five days after I start, I have a lot of  patched files, and 80% of
the pages pass the validation (221 of 261) ignoring the error about
autocomplete attribute not valid in input tags.

    About the 50 pages which don't pass the validation, 40 of them are
due to issues related with editable tables.

    First question: Is there any commiter who want and have the time to
review/commit those patches ?
 
    If the answer is to 1st question is yes, then:

    I suppose the best method to send the patches is through diff files
to JIRA, but there are 252 ftl, 5 xml and 5 java files affected, so the
patches should be grouped to be usable.

    Second question: which will be the preferred grouping for the patches?

Regards
Blas

the the patches are of the actual pages it will not help.
if the patches are of the ftl, widgets or css files  that create them
then they will help

The logical way to group them would be by component. Then the Jira
issues could be tagged with each component.

Hi Blas,
the work you have done seems great!
I will be glad to help reviewing and committing your work.

You could create a patch for each component (content, accounting, etc,) (a
patch will address more files) and attach them to one or more JIRAs.
