HTML - Clean Up Markup Validation With Your Help?
Resolved thanks...
I still need to know how to get a language Detected Similar TutorialsI'm using this markup for this layout. I am wondering if this is valid markup. My main concern is SEO so I have to worry about validation and accessibility. What are your thoughts on this? HTML Code: <dl class="side-display wide"> <dt class="frame-it"><div class="crop-it"><a href="#"><img src="#" alt="" /></a></div></dt> <dd><h3><a href="#">Ferrari Dino: 40...</a></h3></dd> <dd class="subdue"><img src='#' alt=""></dd> <dd>Posted on 12/17/2008</dd> <dd>Ferrari Dino is one of the most important car models created by the...</dd> </dl> Please tell if these markup validation errors can be fatal? Thanks. I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. I'm falling back to the "UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents. Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers on how to fix this problem with your document. No DOCTYPE found! Attempting validation with HTML 4.01 Transitional. The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax. Validation has been performed using a default "fallback" Document Type Definition that closely resembles "HTML 4.01 Transitional", but the document will not be Valid until you have corrected this problem with the DOCTYPE Declaration. Learn how to add a doctype to your document from our FAQ. This page is not Valid (no Doctype found)! Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. 1. Error Line 2 column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>". <HTML> The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid. ✉ 2. Error Line 8 column 74: required attribute "ALT" not specified. ..."><img src="images/wl468v2.gif" width=800px></span> </div> The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element. Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>. ✉ 3. Error Line 9 column 58: required attribute "ALT" not specified. <div id="links"><img src="images/lotto_04.jpg" width=800px></span> ✉ 4. Error Line 9 column 65: end tag for element "SPAN" which is not open. ...s"><img src="images/lotto_04.jpg" width=800px></span> The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem. If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry. ✉ 5. Error Line 22 column 39: end tag for "FONT" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this. <input type="submit" value="Login"></td></tr> * You forgot to close a tag, or * you used something inside this tag that was not allowed, and the validator is complaining that the tag should be closed before such content can be allowed. The next message, "start tag was here" points to the particular instance of the tag in question); the positional indicator points to where the validator expected you to close the tag. ✉ 6. Info Line 20 column 0: start tag was here. <font size="2">Remember me next time 7. Error Line 32 column 3: document type does not allow element "H2" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag. <h2>Tired of Losing?</h2> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). ✉ 8. Error Line 33 column 2: document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag. <p>Do you buy horses? ✉ 9. Error Line 49 column 7: document type does not allow element "TABLE" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag. <table><tr><td>Level </td> <td># of Members</td> <td>Commission</td> <td>Total ✉ 10. Error Line 64 column 47: required attribute "ALT" not specified. <img src="images/horse_12.jpg" width=800px> Hi, I'm writing a terms and conditions page in plain XHTML where we have lots of text along the lines of this: 1 Lorem ipsum intro to 1 1.1 More blurb goes in here 1.2 and a whole bunch of other stuff you can't do 2 La-di-dah here's section two 2.1 this that and the other I'd like to use nested ordered lists (OL tags), but we are quite rigid about the numbering in that the sub-sections must be x.x. This is so we can refer to them without any ambiguity. Getting the layout and positioning is no problem, but I don't see how to write this with OL tags. I tried using VALUE="2.1" in the LIs but this doesn't work. I'm assuming a list is the proper thing to use in this case, but I'm open to other ideas (DL maybe???). Hi guys, new poster here. I just used Filezilla to change the index.html file of a website. What I did is paste my html into the document in textedit, saved it as html, then used filezilla to overwrite to old file in the site's directory. Now when I go to the site's index page, all I see is the markup from the file that I updated with. Why isn't it showing my design? Thanks a lot. I posted here before about making a box and having a text link inside the box. I wanted to make a links to us page. I made one but is all a mess. What i would like is add tables and tr's and td's and stuff like that. Code: Code Fix! I am using the a-href tag on text and images for links to other pages. All is good and working. With text, if the text I link is coloured, with the h-ref tag, regardless of text colour, it becomes blue, and when clicked, purple. I know this is normal behaviour usually, however, I have a title which I would like to be clickable, but remain the colour it is. Is there an attribute I have missed? My history: I am an electrician who likes tinkering with code. I have done a fair amount of tinkering and creation of perl coding. HTML is fairly natural to me, but may not be xhtml current. Google is the god. Cheers all or anyone for any pointers, or links to tuition siteS! hi i want to know if anyone can suggest me: tool/website that can clean or tidy HTML CODE. Assume that i have html code that is not clean or let say i foget the closing tag or or i have extra table or anything, this tool/software will cean it for me thanks I'm trying to validate my html (I've already validated my css), and I keep getting these two errors: there is no attribute "target". ...ref="http://www.freewebs.com" target="_blank">freewebs</a> AND: document type does not allow element "hr" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag. The Navigation: Yay! <br /><hr /><br /> I really don't understand the target="_blank" issue, and I don't know enough about hr's to complain about the second one, so does anyone care to explain? I have paid a French website company to write a website for me. I validated it using WW3's Validation service and saw loads of errors on every page. The declared doc type is XHTML 1 Trans. It said there were Meta tags in uppercase and not closed properly, nesting errors, tags not allowed and more. The company told me their code was written with Dreamweaver 8 and was correct. They pointed out that if I validated Google's or Firefox's or Microsoft's main page, they will and do show errors. WW3s page validates correctly! So what is the value of WW3 validation and is "bad" code in this case bad? Will it not work in some browsers? For the moment I have no answer to give them. The site, which is half-live (!), is http://www.villa-stbarths.com. I wrote another website myself http://henry-bar.net which has no errors (I corrected them all) and it works fine. Can anyone explain or answer the question "Will a WW3 invalid xhtml wesite work on all browsers"? Henry My web site main page is basically www.website.com/index.php. I am told that I can validate a php file. So I went to validator.w3.org, plugged in my url and got the error: No DOCTYPE found, and unknown root element. Aborting validation. So I added "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en-us' lang='en-us'>" to the top of my php file and got errors. In a php forum I was tolf to put the <session_start();> at the begining of the file. This took care of the php errors, but still the validator shows No DOCTYPE found, and unknown root element. Aborting validation. Can someone please help me with validation? Here is what the php file looks like now, thanks: Code: <session_start();> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en-us' lang='en-us'>

I am doing a slow process after each section I add make sure it validates, however despite all that it claims Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type is application/octet-stream, which is not currently supported by this service. The Content-Type header is sent by your web server (or web browser if you use the file upload interface) and depends on its configuration. Commonly, web servers will have a mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME Content-Type values (such as text/html). That you received this message can mean that your server is not configured correctly, that your file does not have the correct filename extension, or that you are attempting to validate a file type that we do not support yet. In the latter case you should let us know that you need us to support that content type (please include all relevant details, including the URL to the standards document defining the content type) using the instructions on the Feedback Page. However my code shows Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="author" content="Mordecai" /> <title>Rigganmore - Land of a Thousand Dreams</title> <meta name="author" content="Mordecai" /> <title>Rigganmore - Land of a Thousand Dreams</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet/general.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet/default.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> </div> </div> </body> </html> Note: the Mime shows text/html not "application/octet-stream" as it claims and charset is there also. Please can someone help me? Hi! I really need some help trying to figure out why these are errors my website looks perfect, and how can i resolve those errors. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.combbat21.com%2Fnoindex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=In line&group=0 Thanks!!! Can someone please run the following page through the W3C for me so you can see the errors that come up and tell me if it is important I change them? The errors look like they are all resulting from a javascript I am using. I don't know how to fix it. Im hoping it doesn't matter. thanks Hello, I am finally getting around the topping off the cake if you will and validating my site. I am having trouble understanding some of the validation errors. What I'll do is link you to the validation and then tell you which ones I am having trouble understanding. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scubatoo.net%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inlin e&group=0 And the ones I am having trouble with and can't quite figure out how to fix are, Actually on second thought, I don't quite understand a majority of them. Is there a way I can refrence these problems on a website? Thanks, Ryan Validation - Just how far should you go? I've sat and started the seemingly longwinded process of validation (xhtml & css) - once you get going it's not as bad as it looks! My question is - just how far should you go? Site Check lists a million things to look at... just where do you stop? is W3C enough? Also how much attention should you be paying to IE's 'Done but with errors on the page' - see attached picture My validated xhtml My validated CSS My Page |
