HTML - Could You Take A Look At My Markup?
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> Resolved thanks... I still need to know how to get a language Detected 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. |
