HTML - 3 Validation Tools
I need to find 3 different validation tools. One of them being http://validator.w3.org/
What are some more? 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 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 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 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.

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? seriously i thought i was pretty decent at html but ive barely done much in recent months/years. http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri and then type: http://www.numyspace.co.uk/~unn_s014557/index.htm i have no idea why there are so many errors. i primarily used dreamweaver for the code so i thought there wouldnt be many problems. 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 I need help with w3c validator, the validator gives me error for tghe following code: <td background= "http://wwwxyz.com/image-files/top.jpg"✉ 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). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. Can someone suggest me a way to rectify this. Thanks 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 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...%2Faboutme.php any idea how to fix that or even what the problem is? I did close the div, and body, unless im looking at it wrong. thanks 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 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'> <?php /** * @file: index.php * @author * @description: main page */ include_once "db_config.php"; include_once "classes/system.php"; include_once "classes/main_menu.php"; include_once "classes/tools.php"; $command = tools::get_field_value("command"); $param = tools::get_field_value("param"); $main_menu = new main_menu($system); $content = $main_menu->parse_command($command,$param); echo $content; ?> |
