HTML - Positioning Errors

I've got 2 pages with in total 8 errors I can't get them fixed.
Could someone please help me?

first page:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.don.alaerts-work.be%2Faccount.php%3Fuser%3Dlisa&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1 &group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2#line-81

and second page:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.don.alaerts-work.be%2Freageer.php%3Fuser%3Ddon%26id%3D40&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1& outline=1&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2

I've tried everything. All my other pages are valid except those 2.

Kind regards & thanks in advantage,

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>

															</div>
														</div>
													</li>
												</ul>
										</ol><!-- /end msgs-list -->(LINE 248)

Hello again everyone:

Thanks to those that help with advice regarding my drop-down box issue earlier. I'm posting this thread now because I have a couple different errors occuring on pages, and was wondering if anybody could help me to clear them up. Here are the error descriptions below:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
URL: main index page!!! (this error popped up upon loading site)

Line: 12
Char: 81
Error: 'top.d.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: main index page!!! (this error popped up upon loading site)

Line: 37
Char: 1
Error: 'top.w.frames.0.length' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: main index page!!! (this error popped up upon clicking enter link)

My "main index page" is of course the very first page people see. This page is simply just a disclaimer statement, followed by a link to direct the visitor to the next page, or "home" page. When I mention "enter link" above, I am referring to this only link on the page...any ideas from anyone on how to get to the bottom of this one? Thanks...

Hi,

On IE I find 2 errors on a site I'm working on, not sure what to make of it?
www.concilium.co.za/cms

Can anyone give advice please?

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

Hey,

I just ran my index page through W3C validation and i have a few errors which I'm not sure how to fix. If anyone can help out that would be appreciated.

I have a form:

HTML Code:

<div id="newsletter">
<p>Sign up for our newsletter</p>
<form action="http://somesite.com" method="post">
First name:  <br /><input type="text" name="firstname" /> <br />
E-mail: <br /><input type="text" name="email" />
</form>
</div>

But w3c validator doesn't like any of the <br /> tags:
Quote:
document type does not allow element "br" here;
I have placed <p> tags there instead, and i get no errors in the validator, but my inputs are too spaced apart.


With the title before my form "First name" and "E-mail". w3c highlights the first letter in red saying:
Quote:
character data is not allowed here.
How can i fix this?


And last one.

I have one image on my page I'm validating:
Code:

<img src="images/coffee_bar.jpg" alt="coffee bar" class="image" align="right"/>

Validator:
Quote:
there is no attribute "align"
Is there another way to write this??

Thanks for any help!!

Dear guru,

Can anyone please help me out? Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

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.

Hello, on my page i am having 3 problems at the moment.

>>The first, is that in firefox my page is centered, and in IE it is not.

>>The second, is that my navigation bar (in a table) seems to be putting a pixel in between my image links, EVEN THOUGH i have specified border="0" and border:0 in my css and my html.

>>The third, is that 4 images arent showing up (on test.html), but i can click on the area where they SHOULD be showing up, and use them as invisible links. I want the images to show up.

I must also specify that i am working to make it look perfect in FIREFOX, but if you could suggest anything that would improve it visually in IE too, that would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance if you can help me! I've included a zip of the files rather than pasting all the code.

Thanks again.

Hey guys if you will take a look at my site i'm building http://www.atlanta-web.com

I"m having funky issues with the layout in IE 7 haven't looked in 6. Please advise.

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)....
