Element div not allowed as child of element button in this context.

[oldrup]

The HTML markup of the search button has been changed at some point, I think. Ajax Search Lite (and I assume Pro as well) no longer HTML validates, but throws the following error:

“Element div not allowed as child of element button in this context.”

For a more complete error description and maybe a hint of a solution, see https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Foldrup.net%2Fajax-search-lite%2F

(I assume this error was introduced in relation to the nice accessibility improvements, tab-index).

I’ll gladly test any beta containing a fix – just say so 🙂

Hi,

Thank you for noticing, I will change those child elements to spans or something else inline. Luckily it is not a big deal, but I will fix it as soon as possible.

Oh it’s no big deal. And it’s not that it doesn’t work – it’s just nice to be able pass the HTML validation – some people care about that.

I’m testing Ajax Search on my WordPress 6.2 beta 2 / PHP 8.1 test bench btw – and so far, no issues 👍

Perfect, thank you! You can report any issues even the smallest ones, in most cases it is super easy to fix, it is worth it to make the plugin better.
