GridTableView W3C errors

[Neven]

Hi,

Today I have used HTML validator (https://validator.w3.org/) to check if I have any errors and found that there is summary attribute rendered inside of a table element which, according to the validator, is obsolete and instead of summary attribute, caption element should be used. Tried fixing this myself and found that however I set up GridTableView it always renders that summary attribute - internally summary attribute is always rendered. I would like to know how to solve that issue if it is possible to do so now or, if not, I would like to report it as an issue. (We are using Version 2016.2.607.45 of Telerik.Web.UI - Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX)

Thank you for your help.

Hi Neven,

Would you set the RenderMode for the components to Lightweight. This mode is using semantic HTML and CSS3. Moreover, with this mode you can easily customize the appearance of the components.

For additional information on the different RenderModes please examine the following article.

Tried finding RenderMode and could not find. Afterwards I saw on one of your pages that there RenderMode does not exist for GridTableView (here is the link http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/mobile-support/render-modes). Is there any other way to fix this?
Thank you.

Hello Neven,

In order to activate the Lightweight RenderMode for the controls you need to add the following code to the web.config file.

<appSettings>
    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.RenderMode" value="lightweight" />
</appSettings>

In case you do not see Lightweight mode as an option please upgrade the controls to the latest version. The current release of the controls is 2016.3.1027.
