HTML - Validating External Links
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 Similar TutorialsIs it possible to log the amount of times an external link has been clicked on your site? Hi everyone, I have a problem, Im in the process of designing a new ebay listing template for my company and want to add this new template to my listings gradually as i edit them. i cant add it to them all in one big lump as i have over 2000 listings and this would take stupd amoutns of time which quite simply i dont have if i was adding it all at once i would add the "shop categories" bar on the side of the screen which shows the categories of your ebay shop in clickable inks. but i cant do this because when i do it messes up the listings i havent changed yet anyway, ebays not the problem. what i need to know is, is it possible to make a links section much like the shop categories section that i can put on my listing design now youre probably thinking "what! is this guy retarded you just gotta put a few links in a table" but heres the thing, im making everything on the listing template updateable from externally so that i can edit things on it without having to go trhrough each template, for example i am making all my payment information sections and returns policy sections .GIF files so i can link them all to the same image and change them all at once just by changing that image. so what i ideally need is a links section that i can have on another site or something (was hoping youd all be able to explain this to me) that i can have also on my listing templates so i only need to change it on this site to change it on all of them. as im not a vastly experienced web designer the only option i have thought of is embeddign a flash file that uses actionscript to make the links.. but obviously browsers hate flash and not everyone has it installled, also it takes a while to load just for a few links, so this is not a good option if anyone can help i would be very appreciative! Hi, I'm new to this forum and would like to apologize in advance for the "general" nature of this question. I am a new moderator for another Forum type website. The website has for years had no image upload feature and had users place in their posts external links to free photo hosting sites. Recently, the website added a feature to upload images directly onto their server, allowing them to be locally archived rather than remotely linked to the other photo hosting website. Now, 99.9 % of the Forum users have never purchased prints from the photo hosting site, including myself. Though the host site has never sent me any notification on my account, the older picture links on my posts have ceased to work, displaying only red X's instead. This is now beginning to happen all over the Forums, creating a slow errosion of images from the older posts. It would be ideal to create some type of program or utility to "saveas", then convert all of the older images to the new local hosting, thus eliminating the problem. This would solve the problem for the newer eternally linked images - unfortunately the older ones are probably lost. Does anyone have any ideas or sugestions on this? (I did a search but was unable to find anything) Thanks! A&N Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! Damn, am I needy or what? Could someone tell me why my code is not validating. HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

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. 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. 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 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 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? 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 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 Hi I have a problem with rev= tag that wont validate. 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"/> <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> 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">
