Hello there,
Is anyone having problems with the W3C validation?
It is being a bit annoying now.
Can anyone explain to me how to center a Google Add in a module, part of a CMS, with script tags without getting penalized by the W3C scheme?
Note that you can not use <center>, <div> and <p>
cheers
JC

The <center> tag is deprecated (since it is presentational) and <p> can only contain certain other elements since it is primarily intended for a paragraph of text. The <div> element is probably the one to go for, but it will depend on the context where it is to be used. You might even be able to center the Goodle-Ad using existing elements?
You could perhaps post the resulting markup to see what we have to work with, but I suspect this is more of a CSS issue than an HTML one?

Wrap it in a div, as mentioned, with margin:auto? text-align:center is likely to give you grief as that is, of course, for text and inline elements 9it will center things inside it you may not want centered.)

Put the entire ad script within a div and make the div align center. if you want to add the script through a cms just click on the source code and then add a div into it.

I recently had issues getting a Google Maps iframe to validate and came up with the followig solution for XHTML 1.0 Strict validation:
<object style="width: 855px; height: 500px; border: 4px" data="http://example.co.uk/"></object>

The align attribute is deprecated in HTML 4,5, and XHTML, along with <font>, <center>, and others. Margin:auto is usually a good substitute. It will still "work," it just won't validate.
