Is there something like conditional comments for blackberry to validate specific meta tags in a web app?

I'm trying to pass w3 validation...

For mobileIE I can use conditional comments to "hide" meta tags like so:

<!--[if IEMobile]>
<meta http-equiv="cleartype" content="on">
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="false" />
<![endif]-->

my problem is meta for blackberry, for example:

<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none" />

which forces numbers to be numbers and prevents BB from converting them into phone numbers.

Question:
Is there a validator proof way of adding these meta tags? Right now they are not passing. Is there a way at all to have them pass?

Thanks!

Solution

  • In HTML5, you can only use name and http-equiv values that are a) defined in the HTML5 specification or b) registered in the WHATWG wiki. You can register new values in the wiki.
