Chris's Compliance Madness Thread
 

I'm not sure if this belongs in coding discussion, so apologies in advance if there's a more suitable place for it.

Recently, since I suffer from vB mod-itis, I've started going through every template to try and get my site to score better on WC3's compliance checker.

Here's a few snippets that failed, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if WC3 is just being nuts.

The error here is "end tag for "span" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified."

I've no idea what OMITTAG NO is, but I haven't specified it anywhere. I get that on every line of the "Reviews and Interviews" CMPS block on the front page of my site. The closing bracket for the /a directly after the word "Ra" in this case is highligted red.

What am I not doing correctly in that line of code above?

[high]* Guest210212002 goes off to google OMITTAG[/high]

Take out all the crap and you have <a> <span> </a> </span> which can't be right, they are overlapping.

So it's just the order that I closed the tags?

Would:

Be what you're talking about? So I end up with a span tag within the <a> tag?

Thanks by the way. :D My site throws a babillion errors in the validator, and since I have no mods left to install that I'm interested in, I'm going mad with nothing to do.
