[Pro] HTML5 Validation Error?

I’m getting a validation error on one of my websites.

The scrolling attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead.

I’m assuming it has something to do with the Facebook elements at the top left of the page. The offending code is below. Is there anyway I can fix this without resorting to CSS?

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2Frivercitybuilders&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;width=150&amp;show_faces=false&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;action=like&amp;height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:150px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

IF you are pasting this code in, then try replacing the scrolling=no part with just the word seamless (replace the entire name/value pair with just that one word). That means the same thing in an HTML5 page.

That doesn’t seem to be working. I must have the syntax wrong somewhere. Would you mind pasting a copy of what the code should look like?

No, I just looked it up and it’s not supported anywhere except Safari on iOS. Probably when the Mavericks Safari meets the world, we can use it there as well. So belt-and-suspenders time:

This is how you use the attribute, and The CSS in the head of the page is how you fake it until the browser support materializes.

Okay, I finally got it to work. Apparently the W3C Validator doesn’t like the word “seamless” because, according to it, seamless has not been fully adopted by many of the browsers.

This is what worked:

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2Frivercitybuilders&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;width=150&amp;show_faces=false&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;action=like&amp;height=21" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:150px; height:21px;"></iframe>

That’s a much simpler implementation, but this is what I’m getting:

Validation Output: 2 Errors

 Line 116, Column 365: The frameborder attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead.
…amp;height=21" frameborder="0" width="150" height="21" seamless></iframe></div>

 Line 116, Column 365: The seamless attribute on the iframe element is not supported by browsers yet. It would probably be better to wait for implementations.
…amp;height=21" frameborder="0" width="150" height="21" seamless></iframe></div>

Okay, then remove frameborder=0 and add border:none to the iframe style declaration.

Nope, that didn’t work either.

I tried it again without the border attribute and it does validate using seamless, but it’s not recommended. Perhaps I’ll just wait until the current crop of browsers begin to support the seamless attribute.

Just out of curiosity, is there anyway to add some css to the div that contains the social media iframe code? There’s more on this styling technique here:

The div is entitled “social-wrapper”

You have to make that part of the style tag:

<iframe style="border:none; overflow:hidden" ...><.iframe>

It’s not a normal attribute of the iframe tag itself.

If you create a style named* #social-wrapper iframe and then add all of the attributes we have been bandying about here to it, that will access the iframe without you having to touch it directly. This is another example of a descendant selector.

Walter

*In Freeway’s Edit Style dialog, you would put this exact selector (minus the back-ticks, if you’re looking at this in Mail) in the Tag field, and then tab into the Name field, delete what’s there, and tab out. This will give you the precise selector you want, and allow you to use this style without actually applying it to anything.

Awesome. I’ll give it a shot.
