Aha -- there's the rub. If your document contains:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<b><i>Foo<\/b><\/i>');
</script>
it will validate because the validator doesn't (and shouldn't) execute
Javascript. But ensuring that the code spat out by the Javascript is valid
is still important, because the browsers still have to render it, right?!
The solution is, once your AJAX has executed, to peek at
document.body.innerHTML using Javascript and then validate whatever's in
there.
Here's a method to do that:
1. Get Opera 9.0 Beta: http://www.opera.com/
2. Get the W3-dev Menu 2.91: http://tobyinkster.co.uk/opera
3. Visit your page and allow the scripts to run.
4. In Opera go to "W3-dev" > "Generated Source" in the menu.
5. From the Generated source, copy and paste everything from "<BODY>" to
"</BODY>" into a text editor.
6. At the end add "</HTML>" and at the start add a DOCTYPE, followed by
"<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Foo</TITLE></HEAD>".
7. Save the resulting file and upload it to the validator.
I wonder if that can be made into one step? Hmmm...
