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 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 whats wrong here? its been bugging me for ages!!! Code: <script> function Blank_TextField_Validator() { // Check the value of the element named visitor_name // from the form named my_form if (my_form.visitor_name.value == "") { // If null display and alert box alert("Please fill in the text field."); // Place the cursor on the field for revision text_form.text_name.focus(); // return false to stop further processing return (false); } // If text_name is not null continue processing return (true); } </script> <form id="my_form" action="#" name="my_form"> <p>Please enter your name:</p> <input type="text" name="visitor_name" id="visitor_name" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> 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. 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 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. <form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:paradox@hotmail.com"> <table cellpadding="10"> <tr> <td class="style4">Full name:</td> <td colspan="2"><br><input type="text" name="first" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="style4">Company name:</td> <td colspan="2"><input type="text" name="surname" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="style4">Email address:</td> <td colspan="2"><input type="text" name="sender" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="style4">Phone number:</td> <td colspan="2"><input type="text" name="phone" size="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="style4">I prefer contact by:</td> <td><input type="radio" name="contactpreference" value="email"><span class="style4">Email</span></td> <td><input type="radio" name="contactpreference" value="phone"><span class="style4">Phone</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="style4">Service of Interest:</td> <td colspan="2"> <select name="q" size="1"> <option>Anatomy Web design and development</option> <option>Anatomy E-learning</option> <option>Anatomy Graphics</option> <option>Anatomy Flash</option> </select> </td> </tr> <td class="style4">Comments/Feedback</td> <td colspan="2"><br><textarea cols=40 name="Comments" rows="6"></textarea></td> <tr> <td id="botton" colspan="3"><input type="reset" value="Reset"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </form> 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 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"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="EN-GB"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme.css"> <title>Revelations of the Ancients</title> <frameset cols="16%,84%"> <frameset rows="80%,20%"> <frame name="sect" id="sect" src="sections.html"> <frame name="val" id="val" src="val.html"> </frameset> <frame name="main" id="main" src="home.html"> </frameset> </head> <body> <center> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <p>Revelations of the Ancients is a game made with the X-Realms engine.<br> Affiliate site: <a href="http://www.newworlddynasty.com/">www.newworlddynasty.com</a></p> <h1><u>News</u></h1> <p>17.12.07: People who want to play the game once it enters <b>open beta stage</b> view this thread <a href="http://rota.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=10#10"target="_blank">here</a>!</p> <b><a href="news.html">View all news</a></b> </center> </body> </html> 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? Hi there, On one of the pages of my website i'm getting a few errors from the validator, all of them problems with the table i'm using. Here are some of the errors... Quote: Line 81 column 51: there is no attribute "align". <td><table width="99%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2"> Quote: Line 83 column 24: there is no attribute "width". <td width="99%" height="13" valign="top" bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><table Would really appreciate any help offered Thanks. Matt Hello I've posted here before. As some of you may or may not know I'm still fairly new in web designing. Recently I started making a small website for my friend who wanted a homepage for his small gaming community. While making this webpage I kept checking the validators (for css and markup) and it all came up fine. I read the sticky on validators and since I have no frames or anything my best bet was to use the (x)html transitional one: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> Now as i stated before everything was coming up validated until I added a javascript code from rssfeedreader.com. I wanted to display some "latest news" from the news blog I set up and I don't know much about stylizing and displaying rss (even after reading a few pages) so i used that website. After I added it in it came up with a bunch of errors (mostly the ampersand error and the "language=javascript" error). I wanted to know if there was a possible way to fix this? I tried changing the "language=javascript" part into "type=javascript" but the feed stops displaying if i do that.. Hi How do you align a table center without using align="center" when trying to strict validate your page? If I use a div and text-align:center; won't that center all the text in the table too? Cheers Shaun I've got lots of external links on one of my pages, I say lots - there's one in a PHP echo that directs someone to a route planner, and this url goes http://routeplanner.rac.co.uk/showmu...it=1&daddress= [First part of address going to postcode] %20 [Second part of address going to postcode] &daddress_limit=1&vaddress1=&vaddress1_limit=1&vaddress2=&vaddress2_limit=1&vaddress3=&vaddress3_lim it=1&vaddress4=&vaddress4_limit=1&vaddress5=&vaddress5_limit=1&rtype=fast&preferences=3&trafficcondi tions=3&nextgengeo=1 This does not validate, and returns me 409 errors ( nice )... ...So how would you a validate the link ? Thanks for any ideas I have the following script on my webpage. <script type="text/javascript" src=http://links.christiansunite.com/blessing.cgi?></script> When I try to get my page validated I get this warning that doesn't make sense to me. Warning: Line 55, column 90: end tag for element "SCRIPT" which is not open . ...tiansunite.com/blessing.cgi?></script> How can I fix this? Hi all , i am a newbie to HTML. I wanted to know how to validate the keys entered in a text field. I want to allow only numbers to be entered in the text field and no alphabets should be allowed. Please suggest me the methods, Thanks & Regards, Shri. |
