LIghtbox++ vs XHTML Validation

So I was tying so hard to keep my portfolio XHTML valid. When i added the Lightbox++ script (which is a modified version of Lightbox) my portfolio had some errors according to the W3 standards. So after doing a little research and looking around I came to this solution.

First, the problem was that the doctype wasn’t recognizing the height and width attributes i was setting in the tag.

So here was my solution.

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" [
	<!ATTLIST a width CDATA #IMPLIED>
 
	<!ATTLIST a height CDATA #IMPLIED>
	] >

NOTE:Problem with this fix is that it leaves a single ‘>’ at the top of your page
