Interesting realization regarding compliance

I'm debating going to bed to get up in time for work tomorrow, or going at the portal while I'm on a roll. I have a feeling that if I start doing the portal now, I'll just end up with broken front end when I wake up tomorrow.

My front page news is random, and it cycles between all the interviews in the left column which I'll have to clean up as well. Tomorrow it is.

Thanks again man. Cheers!

LOL no problem yeah it looks fairly easy though on your main page cause you dont have many errors at all...

If you're working on SevenString.org, then on the forumhome, you just need to get rid of the <font> tags and replace them with something such as <span style="font-size: .70em; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;"></span>.

I'm sitting looking at 3 there and about 17 on the portal, though the ones on the portal are actually rather small so you shouldn't have too much trouble there .

Why? Its not even a error... Mostly all of his errors on his portal are for not having alt tags and not closing the image.. His other ones are for the site nav on his site and then he would have like one or 2 errors after that but nothing with font.. I know thats how they should be done but I think he rather get it Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional before he even goes that far cleaning the html codes up...

Failed validation, 18 errors

The W3C standard is to use <span style...>.

If you're going to go through the trouble of validating your pages' coding structure, why not validate them to be 100% compliant? The <font> tag is depreciated, hence why it should be replaced for standards compliance.
