DISQUS

symtym · 1 year ago

I've tried to fix this, but it keeps giving an invalid XHTML:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var query = '?';
for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
if(links[i].href.indexOf('#disqus_thread') >= 0) {
links[i].innerHTML = 'View Comments';
query += 'url' + i + '=' + encodeURIComponent(links[i].href) + '&';
}
}
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/symtym/get_num_replies.js' + query + '"><' + '/script>');
}());
</script>

The problems lines are:
for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {

Corrected < with &lt;

query += 'url' + i + '=' + encodeURIComponent(links[i].href) + '&';

Corrected with &

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/symtym/get_num_replies.js' + query + '"><' + '/script>');

Couldn't figure the problem out

TIA

Valid HTML > disqus

Do the programmers read any of this?

Yes, we are fixing this.

the end of line 191 in the plug needs to have the closing anchor removed. and that did it for me.

if i could figure out how to paste code in here without it doing weird stuff, i would.

document.write isn't allowed in XHTML. This means no disqus threads in the article/blog post if you serve your XHTML as aplication/xhtml+xml (as recommended).
