HTML - Unencoded Ampersand In Wordpress Causing Me Validation Errors
Hi,
When I enter submit search terms into the search bar on my site (http://www.projectdisobey.com/disobeyclothing/), and then put the resulting page through a validation test at http://validator.w3.org/check, I get the following validation errors: (See attachment) I know that all these errors are resulting from an unencoded ampersand. My question is, which WordPress file do I need to go into in order to change the '&' to a '&'? Can anybody help me? Thanks Similar TutorialsHere is the page I am currently working on. Everything is funtioning and working properly. But there's a problem. I validate my page and I get errors fo the style sheets in the head. It is the cause of like 5 errors on my page. Theres 2 other errors are so, but they are fixable and I will get to them after I fix the style sheet errors. NOTE: The default style sheet is chose using PHP. Here is the whole coding for the actual head of my site, what you don't see in the "view source": <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="User Defined Style" href="<?php echo (!$sitestyle)?'layout':$sitestyle ?>.css" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="playstation interface" href="ps3.css" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="wii interface" href="wii.css" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="xbox interface" href="xbox.css" /> I am using multiple style sheets that user can change, and when they change, the page sets a cookie on there browser. I got this trick from alistapart.com. It works great so people that like an individual game system can change the layout, but I just wanted to fix these errors because it is chaining into other errors on the page. Does anyone have a solution for fixing this problem? I have done much research and messed around with it alot, but all things have failed. I also don't understand what hte title and media things mean in the link to the style sheet. If someone could define this for me I would appriciate it. I was just checking our forum at W3 and I got 12 errors. Here is the link to the page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...#outlineresult I think I can figure out some of that but I don't really understand what the errors are? I know there is one that is causing out about page dropdown menu to display incorrectly. I haven't narrowed it down yet but it's there somewhere. Thanks for the help. Can someone help me with my validation errors , it be drivingme up the head. line 25 column 17 - Warning: <td> proprietary attribute "background" line 71 column 3 - Warning: missing </table> line 331 column 15 - Warning: <tr> proprietary attribute "height" Any help would be appericated from birch. I have Validation Errors on my site. I dont know where to start looking for them. Could someone help please? :-D http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...idator%2F1.654 I am a total noob so I will need quite a bit of help trying to correct the problems. The site was built with wordpress. I know how to use the basics of dreamweaver and crimson Editor if that helps. TIA Paul I am having one of those 'senior moments' again. please could someone take a look at http://www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk...ers/exams.html I have used both W3C and Page Valet and both give 4 errors - 2 of them - width and height - yeah OK I need to do a bit more with the CSS. But the other 2 error have me baffled Quote: Line 59, Column 66: there is no attribute "name" . …/newstructure/members/exams.php" method="get" name="searchForm"> This is in a <form - there are 6 forms on this page, all with the same construct, but this is the only one that fails - it is also the only one with "get". I know'name' is deprecated on xhtml strict - but why is this th only one to fall over (i wii be adding 'id' - but like to hav e 'id' and 'name') Quote: Line 67, Column 45: there is no attribute "onClick" . …type="button" value="Search" onClick='submitActForm(document.searchForm, This is in an <input type="button" . There are 10 of these all with onClick - but this is the only one that fails - should that be 'onclick'? = but why is this the only one to fail? DUHH - I'm feeling a little thick this morning Advice appreciated Alright, I'm really confused now. I'm getting some pretty strange errors when validating my page. If you want to look at actual ...the address is http://www.getthegirl101.com in case you want to see the validation yourself. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> Since when is element<meta> not allowed here? Since when is style element not allowed here? <style type="text/css"> Since when is body not allowed here? </style> </head> <body> </body> </html> Dynamicdrive.com is where I got my li'l css menu and they recommended using this doctype. What doctype should I try instead because this one is definitely not working?! I'm not sure what these errors mean. 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. 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).... Seem to be getting W3C errors on my Joomla based website. At a loss on how to make it compliant. The address is www.mph-uk.com and if you click the W3C checker on the right hand side, it should bring up three errors. Any advice is appreciated. Some of the items are coming from templates and modules. I am getting better at handling the validation errors, what I would like to know now is what's the easiest way to locate the line specified in the error, for example if it says line 122 column 12? How do you guys get to line 122, do you count line by line like me or is there an easier way? Also I am assuming that the white spaces between all lines are not counted in the validation? I recently hired a freelancer to validate all the code for my Wordpress e-commerce website (http://www.projectdisobey.com/disobeyclothing) He told me that he had finished validating everything, but when I tested each page out using the validation service at http://validator.w3.org/, I came across a whole load of validation errors (http://imageshack.us/f/836/validationerrors.jpg/). I notified the freelancer of this and his reply was: "The errors left are because of javascript in the source code. The website http://validator.w3.org checks the source code of the page and gives errors on javascript because the checker is not for Javascript. It checks it as a html/css and gives errors." Since I am no expert in this field, can anybody tell me from glancing over the list of validation errors (http://imageshack.us/f/836/validationerrors.jpg/) whether he is speaking the truth or not? If any of the errors have nothing to do with Javascript and are easy to resolve, would anybody mind advising me how to do so? I'd be extremely appreciative. Thanks guys... Hello, I have produced a form which can be seen at this url: http://www.magicalwonders.com/Freestufftest5.html but the code is failing to valididate and is producing two errors: Quote: Line 33, Column 29: "INPUT" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute. <select name="country" input type='text' size='1'> Line 33, Column 34: there is no attribute "TYPE". <select name="country" input type='text' size='1'> As I need to include "Input" and "Type" in order for the form to work I'm not sure how to produce a form that validates!
