Validate epub

carlol · 08-10-2011, 03:34 PM

Hi everyone, Threepress validation says my ebook has failed because of the following error:
epub/OEBPS/Text/titlepage.xhtml(21): value of attribute "preserveAspectRatio" is invalid; must be a string matching the regular expression "\s*(none|xMinYMin|xMidYMin|xMaxYMin|xMinYMid|xMid YMid|xMaxYMid|xMinYMax|xMidYMax|xMaxYMax)\s+(meet| slice)?\s*"

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? The code view shows </svg> against line 21 in Sigil but the preserveAspectRatio information appears within everything showing against line 19. Is this normal and what do I change? I am assuming at present that I should enter something else in line 19.
Please understand I know nothing about programming language. Anyone who can help will have my undying gratitude.

Carlol.

Please do a search for it, it has been mentioned a couple of times on this forum.

Anyway, if you mention a problem, the code to which the error refers to would be helpful.

Thanks for the reply, will do a search, but all of the code for line 19 is:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="none" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 464 751" width="100%">

If you use none, the aspect ratio would be incorrect in your cover image. The best way to do it is to use "xMidYMid meet".

But "none" is correct. It is a bug in ePubCheck.

Thanks very much, will try "xMidYMid meet".
