Has any one found a way so that the NewsGator Widget validates as a valid Html/Xhtml Document????
Somehow I like that all my pages in my blog are a 100% valid.
With the Newsgator Widget included it's not the case.

NewsGator widgets inject HTML onto your page, not XHTML. You should expect that your page will not pass XHTML validation as a result, but you should still expect the widget to be fully functional if deployed to an XHTML page.

there is a way to pass the validation - it was quite easy to correct.

your widget creator does not encode the links in the correct way.

Any time a link contains a "&" it has to be written as "&" otherwise it would not
validate as a 100% html/xhtml document

Dont know if the widget creator can accomodate that small change.
Hope that helps other users too.
Nevertheless I do like your Newsfeed Widget
I know I'm just nuts about a 100% validation!
