74 errors, how do I correct most of them? I don't get where it says premature tag at: >

Any help?

-close image tags (self closing : <img ... /> )
-use lowercase markup and attributes
-fix incorrectly nested elements
-check your custom <if> conditions, because an <else /> made it to the rendered HTML

...

Sorry, I don't see what you mean. Can you point me out the errors, then let me know how to correct them?

No one is going to fix the errors for you, you need to learn how to do it yourself. ;)

The validation will tell you mostly what you need to look for. It's a learning process. I just fixed one of my hacks that was giving me errors but only when I did certain things with it. Otherwise, the errors never showed up. But, I will let you in on a secret...


VALIDATION IS ADDICTING!!! ;)

[Jase2]

Yes, suppose I will. To be honest, I've never checked for validation. I don't think many sites do either, as I've checked a number of top sites and they have errors.

What are the advantages of passing validation?

[Boofo]

I never did it either until this past week. And then it was only to see if I could do it. I will NOT let it beat me. Like I said, it is a learning process. I have learned quite a bit about HTML since I started doing it. It makes doing templates and adding pages a lot easier once you begin to understand how it all works. Fixing one thing can erase quite a few errors.

[Jase2]

Yes, I've also learned a lot. I do C++ more, so I'm just learning PHP ect... I'm a dev for a Linux OS.

I can do Turbo Pascal. That and a quarter will buy me a dime cup of coffee. ;)

On the validator, why is it picking this as an error:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="

[Boofo]

Link me.

First post.

[Boofo]

The first one is easy:

Remember XHTML is all lower-case

[Jase2]

Oops, my bad. But, I still don't get some of them. Such as:

…www.techsupportteam.org/favicon.ico"> <meta name="verify-v1" content="+J2hTIQ

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://w
