Something for the design team if they don't know what to do: W3C compliance (http://validator.w3.org/) :bunny:

At the moment there are some small errors in the styles, so it would be nice to have them 100% W3C compliant.

For example in the Smooth Blue style (header template):
<a href="index.php?" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('forums','','images/smoothblue/nav_forum_on.gif',1)"><img src="images/smoothblue/nav_forum_off.gif" alt="Forums" name="forums" width="107" height="27" border="0" /></a><img src="images/smoothblue/nav_forum_on.gif" style="display: none;" />
<a
<a href="modifications.php?" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('hacks','','images/smoothblue/nav_hacks_on.gif',1)"><img src="images/smoothblue/nav_hacks_off.gif" alt="Modifications" name="hacks" width="107" height="27" border="0" /></a>


onMouseOver should be onmouseover and onMouseOut should be onmouseout (lowercase because of xhtml)
Some images don't have an alt attribute
What's that <a ?


There are also some wrong tables (missing tr tags, ...) in some of the styles, ...
There are also a lot of small errors in the CSS stylesheets, ...

I know, nothing critical, just something to do if you don't know what to do :)

With the new Admins here seems like a good time to clean house a bit... Might be a time for a good look at the templates.. ;)

I honestly never saw the point in making things 100% compliant with anything. As long as it's 100% cross platform/browser etc. it's fine. Then again, that's just my opinion as a designer. Web page compliance has gone a bit to a bit of an extreme i never thought it would.

Thank you ... we are aware of these issues.

You will see some changes hopefully this month (not on the current styles). ;)
