HTML - Erroneous I.e. Layout 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,

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!!

Hello all,

i am new to html coding and i am working on an assignment for university. I have come across one problem that i don't know how to fix. I want to make a web page that when the user maximizes the screen size or is using a different sized screen the web pages components would stay consistently in one spot. We did a basic page when i was in high school and all we used were "div" 's in css sheets and they use a fixed position on a screen. i tried using percentage and not pixels when positioning the "div"'s but im not getting anywhere......could anyone give me advise or a link to a page that explains

thanks in advance

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

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...

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.

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?!

hi friends

I am looking for an online tool which will list all the class name that are referenced in a web page and aren't defined in a CSS.

for eg: <div class="button"> but classname "button" is not defined anywhere in stylesheet.

please suggest me any tool which can help me.

thanks to all for ur time and effort.

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)
