The spec made the equals sign a parse error in unquoted attributes in order to catch this authoring mistake: <p class=="foo"> This seems to result in false positives for: <a href=foo?bar=baz> ...which is pretty common. Since the spec bans the " and ' characters in unquoted attributes, the above authoring mistake would be cought anyway. Therefore, I think that = should be allowed in unquoted attributes, at least when it's not the first character. -- Simon Pieters Opera SoftwareReceived on Friday, 30 May 2008 10:27:12 GMT
