Wow, I am so completely impressed with your support! I work as a tech support agent so I know how tough it can be to troubleshoot a problem and get a fix or workaround put together.
You are truly incredible to have such a fast response to this issue, when you could have just said "Hey, the code is the way it is and if you want to validate to a higher standard that's your problem!"
I'll be watching for an update with the new code so I can get it on my page!
