Error Line 8 column 24723: document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag. ...ear:</strong> 2005</p><p align="left" > <strong>Season:</strong> Spring</p><p a When I asked my web designer to validate the site design through http://validator.w3.org/, he agreed to it. But when I tested it, there were 2 Errors, 92 warning(s) . When I enquired about it, the designer says there is nothing to worry about warnings. And as there are just 2 errors, it would not be a big problem. Is it right? How this will affect SEO? Can this be search engine friendly website? Deleted By User. Hello again, I had a problem resolved today with one of my pages. And it had to do with validating my page and the CSS. The HTML validation is done at w3.org I have come across something that has amazed me. I am a complete amateur but can't understand how I have gone this long without knowing this. What is the story with the "/>" at the end of the meta tags? Up until now my meta tages have looked like this HTML Code: <meta name="description" content="description here"> Now that I have discovered it is a good idea to validate your pages I have found that all these things are errors! It makes me write it like this to get rid of the error. HTML Code: <meta name="description" content="description here" /> Infact, everything in the head has to end with the ../> or it's an error. I have no idea why. And this whole validation thing is new to me anyway. I'd appreciate it if someone explained to me what is going on here. thank you. im pretty new still to web design but any ways yesterday i tried validation on a w3schools website and now all my images on my site are pushed to the left and im unable to align them properly and i dont know what to do to fix it any help appreciated thanks. I am not sure what I am doing wrong with this page but the validation fails. Any help? http://www.h51school.com/ I am new to HTML and am currently working on my second website. At the moment I have started to validate all of the various pages using HTML 1.0 Strict but I have run into a problem on one page that I cannot figure out. The page involved an image map with the onmouseover feature on the major links which changes the image map to give the illusion of changing the text color of the link. I was able to validate using Transitional, but if possible I would like to validate the entire site using HTML 1.0 Strict. Here is a link to the Strict page with the error: http://www.crystalhatchlings.com/MainPageV.htm There is a link to the W3C Markup Validation Site at the bottom of the page. The error deals with the the "name" attribute. If I remove or change the "name" attribute the onmouseover function does not work and when you hover your mouse over the red links they stay red. They do not change to blue. Please bear in mind that the link is to a test page and while it links to the rest of my site none of the site links back to this test page. The Transitional validated page can be found he http://www.crystalhatchlings.com/MainPage.htm If I am missing something in my post or if it is not detailed enough please forgive me. As I said I am very new to web design. Take care and have a great day.... ciao, john.

I am using HTML 4.01 Strict! Errors highlighted in red. 1) Line 8, Column 77: NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES. js/ddaccordion.js" type=text / javascript></script> The sequence <FOO /> can be interpreted in at least two different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag <FOO (with an implied '>'). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML. 2) Line 2, Column 12: there is no attribute "XMLNS". <html xmlns= " http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).... 3) Line 2, Column 52: there is no attribute "XML:LANG". <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang= " en"> You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element.

I can't see anything, but I do know that two of the buttons don't work, most likely because of the website not being validated. Any help is appreciated! BTW, just remove the .txt for it to become an html doc. to validate it just try this: http://validator.w3.org/ I don't know what the errors mean: HTML Code: No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8. None of the standards sources gave any information on the character encoding labeling for this document. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. As a fallback solution, the "UTF-8" encoding was used to read the content and 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. Unable to Determine Parse Mode! The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions). For this document, the information available was not sufficient to determine the parsing mode unambiguously, because: the MIME Media Type (text/html) can be used for XML or SGML document types No known Document Type could be detected No XML declaration (e.g <?xml version="1.0"?>) could be found at the beginning of the document. No XML namespace (e.g <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">) could be found at the root of the document. As a default, the validator is falling back to SGML mode. No Character encoding declared at document level No character encoding information was found within the document, either in an HTML meta element or an XML declaration. It is often recommended to declare the character encoding in the document itself, especially if there is a chance that the document will be read from or saved to disk, CD, etc. See this tutorial on character encoding for techniques and explanations. Validation Output: 1 Error Line 1, Column 1: end of document in prolog ✉ This error may appear when the validator receives an empty document. Please make sure that the document you are uploading is not empty, and report any discrepancy. Hello I am a newbie in html.
