HTML - What Are The Pros And Cons Of These Validating Tools?
http://validator.w3.org/
I need to know what the advantages and disadvantages of these three validating tools are. Could anyone help me out? thanks Similar TutorialsHi: Currently, I'm making my web pages 'by hand'. That is, I use an editor, and laboriously crank out and test my pages on IE, safari, FireFox and Opera. But this is agonizingly slowwwwww ! What tools do *professional* webbers use to build sites ?? What would you folks here suggest as a useful tool for web-building that would speed up my building, but result in clean editable pages ? (btw, I'm an expert database man, but quit a neophyte in web design.) My 'forte' is building Windows business applications (Inventory, Accounting, etc, etc) using xBase database software (i.e., the xHarbour language). I can hardly wait until I can get 'behind-the-scenes' and do database work to back up my (pathetic) designs. Thanks for any hints. -Mel Smith Mesa, Arizona I need to find 3 different validation tools. One of them being http://validator.w3.org/ What are some more? Hi, I am new to HTML and web programming, trying to learn things. I came across the Developer tools in Microsoft Explorer and I opened the main google page and yahoo mail log in page, but there was lots of lines, I thought it might be shorter than that cos there is not much going on the page, a search bar, a button and few links. Also, there are tags like css and script, does that mean they have use many scripting/languages to make that page, and how can u really write few hundreds of line just for an almost empty page (i.e. not much details), there must be something to make writing that script easier. If anybody can help me clarifying any of the above will be very appreciated Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i have a feeling it is. So you create a site for a client and that client has to update the page with whatever area they work in, maybe they work in real estate and have a new house on the market to add to the site etc.. Well i could easily write a php script that would add their content to the site, but i can image there could be errors somewhere down the line, what happens then, they phone you up to complan etc...? So what content modifying tools/script do you use? Well Iam a Owner of RsIllusion The next Biggest Rs Fansite/help Community Forum Iam trying to Host a Easy and Free Website that Allow me to Add Runescape Price Checker ( a tools that let people put in Rs item and it tell you how much it cost At the moment) like the one in Zybez.com and a Tools helping people Design a Rs Signature and Treasure Trail Locator I wonder if there any Html Code that is Fully Work For Runescape Price Checker ( like Zybez) Runescape Quest ( like Tip.it) Treasure Trail Locator Anything that Good for a Rs Help Site Thanks if you know please reply 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 Damn, am I needy or what?

I am using Lightbox on the first 2 images on my webpage http://www.colletts.co.uk/colletts_n..._holidays.html where the caption on the lightbox image is linked to the relevant page with a rev link. This however doesn't verify 'Line 100, Column 120: character "/" is not allowed in the value of attribute "rev".' Does anyone know a way around this or should I just drop the link? Whadyareckon HTML Code: <a href="lightbox/via_ferrata_dolomites_tofana.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Via Ferrata in the Dolomites" rev="http://www.colletts.co.uk/via_ferrata_and_klettersteig.html"> <img src="http://www.colletts.co.uk/images/via_ferrata_dolomites_italy.jpg" alt="Via Ferrata in the Dolomites" width="238" height="314" class="rpadding" longdesc="http://www.colletts.co.uk/images/via_ferrata_dolomites_italy.jpg"/> I am setting up a newsletter.I have validated it and have this one annoying error. document type does not allow element "P" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag Now, I dont want to use css since as im not sure how many email programs will pick it up..so to be safe im using just the basic font tag system. I get the above error from this example. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> <P>Testing testing </> </font> I also tried putting a style in the body but the outlook doesnt pick it up,well mine anyways since its outlook 2000. any advice thanks I need to make sure my site is validated with XHTML but i don't think Dreamweaver is doing it right. I made one page and it said it was all good but i left some span tags open. It never mentioned that though. So how do i validate in Dreamweaver against XHTML? Where do i check what it validates against? In the Validate menu it says "If no DOCTYPE is detected, validate against" then has a list of HTML 2, 3, 4, XHTML 1..etc Does that mean i need to remove the DOCTYPE that's in the code or just make sure it's the right one I'm validating againt? Thanks for any help. Well hi there, I've been altering and adding to my website over the last few months, and I've decided it's almost complete. I decided to try and make what was already complete w3c compliant (using the w3c validator), and I've hit a tree. This is involves my index.html which uses frames. Well after I discovered that I must set the doctype to HTML frameset, there were two remaining errors which I could not resolve. I have spent ages googling but I haven't found much useful. here are the errors Quote: Line 15, Column 6: end tag for element "HEAD" which is not open. </head> 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 occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry. Line 16, Column 5: document type does not allow element "BODY" here. <body> The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed). One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error). Here is my index.html (yes I know I used loads of br's): Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

I am finishing up a section of my site and I am validating it now and correcting all the areas. I have one section that I am having problems with and not sure how to correct... http://www.mesquitechristmas.com/loc...action=promote FYI, I am aware of the error at the top. This is a restricted page so I removed the session so it can be made viewable by the general public. This is the error I am getting.... http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...idator%2F1.591 The second error is because of the first, so how do I go about fixing the first error so it will validate. Tidy is no help and I can not find any information on how to correct this. -Thanks Hi, Im really new to this site and to HTML in general. I am having trouble validating this page and would greatly appreciate some help. I am attaching the text file if anyone can help. Thanks in advance. Yes, I have read the sticky but am still a little stuck. Hi, Just a quick post here to ask for some help. My website (http://www.anewtake.com/ted) which I am making, works fine in Safari and Chrome. However, it does not work quite in Firefox: the top bar, where it says 'welcome' is placed too far over to the right. I'm not sure whether it works in IE7 or IE8, because it won't install on my computer! And I'm not bothered about IE6 because it's just old. So my question is; can anyone help me with getting this page to work in Firefox and validate? Thanks, Ted Hello everyone, I'm new here and need a little help. I'm getting two errors on my validate and was hoping someone can see something I'm not seeing. I'm new to xhtml/html so any help I would be very grateful. Here are the two errors Code: Error Line 209, Column 33: document type does not allow element "ul" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag
<ul class="children">
✉
Error Line 248, Column 15: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
</ol><!-- /end msgs-list -->
✉
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
Info Line 209, Column 13: start tag was here
<ul class="children">
and here is the code HTML Code: <ol class="msgs-list"> <li> <div class="msg-entry"> <div class="author"> <p><a href="#">Author Name</a></p> <p>Posted: 01-01-11<span class="sep">12:41</span></p> </div> <div class="msg-body"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> </div> </li> <ul class="children"> (LINE 209) <li> <div class="msg-entry"> <div class="author"> <p><a href="#">Author Name</a></p> <p>Posted: 01-01-11<span class="sep">12:41</span></p> </div> <div class="msg-body"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <ul class="children"> <li> <div class="msg-entry"> <div class="author"> <p><a href="#">Author Name</a></p> <p>Posted: 01-01-11<span class="sep">12:41</span></p> </div> <div class="msg-body"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <ul class="children"> <li> <div class="msg-entry"> <div class="author"> <p><a href="#">Author Name</a></p> <p>Posted: 01-01-11<span class="sep">12:41</span></p> </div> <div class="msg-body"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </ol><!-- /end msgs-list -->(LINE 248) Many thanks This peace of code is the only part of my page not validating. <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #header { background: url("http://SITEADDRESS.com/img/header2.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; } </style> How can I get it to validate? |
