Im Trying to XHTML Validate my board...

[Guy G]

Im trying to validate my forum, so far i had 139 errors..
I got them down to 59 errors.
But there are some things that i dont know even how to approach in order to fix them...

I cant fix all of these errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...tomatically%29

If anyone would be kind enough to have a look an tell me how to fix some ill be happy...(most errors are of the same kind)


Thanks,

Half of those errors are due to incorrect nesting. As you're validating your XHTML i'm assuming you know the three golden rules. Nesting should be consistent being one of them. Go through your code and find out where you are not closing tags etc. Then that'll narrow it down so we can help some more

yep, I agree ... and
1. you are using deprecated tags/attributes.
2. image tags are not being closed properly

What do u mean deprecated tags \ attr ?

and where is there an error about improper closure of an img tag?

valign is a deprecated attribute
onClick should be onclick
etc.

<img src="" alt="" title="" /> <-- the proper way to close image when using XHTML
FYI: All tags that do not have a closing end should be closed properly.

The onclick will be fixed.
Whats the replacement for valign?
and all the single tag tags are closed.

Hmmm valign doesnt seem to affect it to be XHTML valid...

Can't... The skin company did a loousy job on nesting it.
And going through all that code would be crazy...
