Hello to you all not been here before but hear ed good things and pointed here as I have a problem.
Briefly I have a site I am in the process of building based on a borrowed structure which I have slowly dismantled and am putting back together. I took this on knowing very little about HTML but believe you have to try. The site is now around 10 pages and I was advised to put it through the W3 verifier to see how it looked. Well it looks fine until I put it through... the verifier is not too keen it would seam . My problem is that I am not conversant enough to understand the result or how to correct it. Is there someone that can lend me their experience and take a look please ??? Regards kvarnerexpress |

There are lots of errors which the w3c validator picks up. The most common one is that alt attributes are not placed inside img tags. Eg:
Wrong: CODE <img src="image.png" height="20" width="200"> Right: CODE <img src="image.png" height="20" width="200" alt="Divider"> Even if the alt attribute is left with nothing inside it, it still has to be there or else w3c markup validator will pick it up as an error. There are loads more but it would helpful if you posted links to your validation results. |

The errors are a little bit self explicative, and they point out the very line where the error has been found.
If you are using an editor such as dreamweaver, you can take advantage of the 'help' code (while you are in code view) that pops up when you start writting (dreamweaver tries to gues what you want to type, given the position of the cursor, wheter its a specific tag attribute, or a particular css property or the fixed values of those, etc), and theres an additional help in dreamweaver that examines the code in search for particular browser errors, right to the left of the file managment (get or put file into server or local site), theres the browser check errors, where you can tell what browser are you designing for and dreamweaver underlines wrong code (as if it was ms office winword), and then you can debug your html... But that is IF you do have dreamweaver.. hehe anyway, why dont you post the link to the page or the errors themselves so we know what to advice exactly... cheers and good luck  -10730 |
