Hi guys

I really dont know anything about HTML or php for that matter,and have chopped and edited my skin and templates a fair bit (this is my first website/forums) I came across this site http://validator.w3.org/ thru the vbadvanced forums, anyway its telling me I have all these errors, obviously most of them are caused by myself and I think template coder.

I want to get rid of all of them, I have no idea how, reinstalling my forums is short of impossible because all the work I have done so far to get my site running and customized, I cant put all that time back into it again ,untill probably next xmas.

here are my errors http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...00=1&verbose=1 I really want my site running top notch and seeing all these errors is annoying the hell outa me, is there some kind of progam I could get my hands on that would run through the code and fix all the errors? kinda like a windows registry cleaner? Or is there somewere I can go to get these fixed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your link in the first post doesn't work.

I would suggest turning on the option to put the templates in your source code and then figuring out which template has errors and fix the small ones first. Just keep fixing one template at a time. There is nothing to 'automatically' do this for you. If you have something like dreamweaver or bbedit , you could put the code in there for help with closing tags, but the best way is really to do it small chunks at a time. Compare your template to the default template and make sure your templates start and close with the same tags and have the same html structure.

Just a little comment about the validator... sometimes it will tell you something is not valid, but the reality is that it doesn't hurt either, or it is used because of IE which does not conform. So, be selective in the errors that you choose to fix.
