Help in HTML Validation

Hello All,

I am working on validating a site html on the W3C standards and I am using SharePoint 2010 as the platform I used the validator (http://validator.w3.org/) in validating the HTML of the pages on it but I faced some problems which I found it is a SharePoint limitation as follows:

The SharePoint built-in search box (5 errors)

<div WebPartID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" HasPers="true" id="WebPartWPQ1" width="100%" class="noindex" OnlyForMePart="true" allowDelete="false" style="" ><div id="SRSB">

Errors:-

*         there is no attribute "WebPartID"

*         there is no attribute "HasPers"

*         there is no attribute "width"

*         there is no attribute "OnlyForMePart"

*         there is no attribute "allowDelete"


A panel zone generated by the ribbon somehow (8 errors)


<div id="ctl00_panelZone">

<div style='display:none' id='hidZone'><menu class="ms-SrvMenuUI">

    <ie:menuitem id="MSOMenu_Help" iconsrc="/_layouts/images/HelpIcon.gif" onmenuclick="MSOWebPartPage_SetNewWindowLocation(MenuWebPart.getAttribute(&#39;helpLink&#39;), MenuWebPart.getAttribute(&#39;helpMode&#39;))" text="Hjelp" type="option" style="display:none">

    </ie:menuitem>

</menu></div>


Errors:-

*         there is no attribute "id"

*         there is no attribute "iconsrc"

*         there is no attribute "onmenuclick"

*         there is no attribute "text"

*         there is no attribute "type"

*         there is no attribute "style"

*         element "ie:menuitem" undefined

*         end tag for "menu" which is not finished


Do you have any idea how to fix this or did you face this before?
