I recently got a new WAP-capable phone, and since you can do a lot of interesting things by pointing it at various URLs, I thought I'd try making a cute little website in Woven for my phone to browse.
Cool :-)
Unfortunately, it seems that this is impossible. The resulting markup from my simple Woven test page had all sorts of woven-stuff all through it - such as pattern attributes that hadn't been removed, and id attributes that were woven's internal IDs, rather than the IDs I tried to set. Modern, capacious HTML browsers wouldn't care, I guess, but my phone's little brain overloaded and gave up.
The woven-specific attributes should really all be removed -- any that are left in are just there because I have been lazy about it, since as you observe modern browsers don't care. I'll try to go through and make sure woven outputs clean XHTML by the next release... I have been meaning to do it for a while anyway. The tendency for woven to overwrite ids you try to set has been fixed in CVS. Also, since several people have requested it, I will remove the auto-id setting unless you are using LivePage, which is the only thing that uses it.
Is this just the way Woven works, or am I likely doing something wrong?
I would consider these bugs, and thanks for the report! Donovan
