I know the pages on my site don't validate correctly, but usually it is usually because I use some property that it doesn't like in a certain tag. If it's a matter of table tags not adding up correctly, I always fix those because otherwise a browser could misinterpret the page and make it all wonky.

Saviour 01-21-2009 02:26 PM
In my case...I have to get my forum homepage to validate...and it has one error. The error I get is this:

Quote:
Line 511, Column 7: end tag for "table" which is not finished .

</table>

Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists (ul, ol, dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.
Now...I've taken a look at that code...and for the life of me...can't see where the issue is. I know the problem originates with my FORUMHOME template, but I can't seem to find where the table has not been closed properly.

I've checked the code...yet it's driving me nuts. Hopefully, someone can find the error for me and tell me what to change so I can get this mokey off my back.

Thanks for the reply, Lynne...

I just put your homepage into the validator and it passed. I'm just a guest though. So, whatever is causing the problem is something that isn't shown to guests.

Saviour 01-21-2009 02:40 PM
Are you looking at my homepage...or the forum homepage? It's the forum's homepage that's causing the headaches: http://www.glitchpc.com/forums/index.php

Lynne 01-21-2009 02:56 PM
I did a quick look through your page source and every </table> tag looked valid to me so I'm not sure what it is talking about. Sorry.

Saviour 01-21-2009 02:57 PM
Thanks, Lynne...LOL! Now you know the pain I'm going through.

Lynne 01-21-2009 03:00 PM
Well, as I said, I don't worry about that stuff. Well, sometimes when I'm board, I go try to validate a page, but I don't lose any sleep over it if I'm left with a couple of errors.

Saviour 01-21-2009 03:48 PM
Well...I have a total of three styles...and this is the only one that doesn't validate, so I'm going to post my FORUMHOME template code here to see if anyone can help me locate the problem.

Much thanks to anyone who can solve this for me...

Lynne 01-21-2009 05:07 PM
Probably your best bet is to compare that template to one of the forumhome templates in the other styles.

Saviour 01-21-2009 05:55 PM
Lynne...if you were standing next to me...I'd kiss you smack dab on the mouth!:eek:

Removed <thead></thead> from the template and low and behold...SUCCESS!:D

Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you...within reason, that is...;)


All my best!

Steve
