CSS Validation Problem

Question

I have a script which dynamically creates CSS. Currently, the CSS is not loaded in the head section, but is loaded in the middle of the document.

I receive this error at validation service:

Element link is missing required attribute itemprop.

This is the line error:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='stylemaker.php?loadstyle=65456465' type='text/css' media='all' />

What are the potential causes of this problem?

Style sheet links in the body tag are not valid in HTML - you need to put the element into the head section — Pekka

itemprop is an HTML5 attribute for adding microdata to your elements. It is not necessary.

@greenbandit: Ignore the warning? It's not a fatal flaw.

And if you can't move it into the head (for whatever reason), you can always load it dynamically using jQuery like so...

<script type="text/javascript">

 $('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylemaker.php?loadstyle=65456465" type="text/css"  media="all" />');

</script>

It's not going to validate if the css is within the body tag move

<link rel='stylesheet' href='stylemaker.php?loadstyle=65456465' type='text/css' media='all' />

to the head section
