Is this acceptable?

I am on the x10Advanced plan.

For XHTML 1.0 Strict validation, the ad code had to be slightly changed.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
   phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
   
   document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
   document.write ("http://x10hosting.com/advert/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
   document.write ("&what=zone:3&target=_blank");
   document.write ("&exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
   if (document.referrer)
      document.write ("&referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
   document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->

</script><a href="http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a915c788"><img src="http://x10hosting.com/advert/adview.php?what=zone:3&amp;n=a915c788" alt="" /></a>

I only changed what was completely necessary for the code to comply with XHTML 1.0 Strict standards. Would this be acceptable?

It looks alright to me. What needed to be changed in order to get it compliant?

Comparing mine to the normal one from http://forums.x10hosting.com/ads.php

The language='JavaScript' part was removed. Single quotes were changed to double quotes on the line starting with <script, and everywhere but inside the Javascript code. Inside the javascript, <'s were changed to &lt; and >'s were changed to &gt;. All &'s outside of the javascript were changed to &amp;. <noscript> and </noscript> were removed. target='_blank' was removed, as well as border='0'. Removing the border part caused the image in the code (yes, the advanced code contains an image, which is just a 1x1 pixel transparent gif, I don't know why but I assume it's needed) to have a border around it, which can be fixed with CSS. And a forward slash was added to the end of the img tag.

In XHTML 1.0 Transitional it's much simpler, just change the single quotes to doubles like how I did for strict, change & to &amp;, remove the noscript tags, and add the forward slash for the img. Transitional allows for depricated tags from html such as <center>, <u>, <i>, <b>, <font>, etc. So you can get away with more.
