    Hello, I am just polishing up my new site WonderPile. I like it for the most part but would like some help with the flollowing:
    1.Error

    Line 282, column 10: syntax of attribute value does not conform to declared value
    <li id=””>
    The value of an attribute contained something that is not allowed by the specified syntax for that type of attribute. For instance, the “selectedâ€? attribute must be either minimized as “selectedâ€? or spelled out in full as “selected=”selected”â€?; the variant “selected=””â€? is not allowed.

    This error refers to the code that list the links under the resources heading in my side menue. I allso was able to have styled headings for each link category in my first WP site. Now the headings are the same size and font as the links and all fall under the link block.
    2. I want a wider content area and less filler on the right side of my blog. I tried a few things but I am new at this and kept on messing stuff up. If I do it right do I need to redo my header? Please bear with me this is my first CSS design and all I have is text pad & MS Paint.
    Thanks! Please send help!

    There are serious CSS positioning issues on this blog. The layout as to the width is completely borked. In Firefox here I see all the content spilling right across the menu.

    Just cleared this very second. Mysterious.

    Just one of those quirks you often get with non-IE compliant beta version browsers. 😉

    I dont think it was your browser, I was tweaking with the code around the time this happend to you. It locked the same on my browser Mozila. Infact I got a lot of hits after posting here, I should have waited to tweak it for a bit. everyone saw messed up stuff, no header, no background, overlaps, no subcontent, owell its fixed now. Still not clear how to change width & do I need to resize my header background image?

    As of the writing, you have 13 warnings on your HTML document. Run the file through Tidy Online:
    http://infohound.net/tidy/
    Tidy will correct 9 of those errors for you.
    Upload that file, and we’ll help you with the 4 errors Tidy did not fix.

    Before you run Tidy (see above post) , these will fix the 4 errors that Tidy leaves up to you:
    delete the id Beel mentioned.
    1) This:
    <h2>Tools</h2>

      <li id=””>
      Should read:
      <h2>Tools</h2>
    • 2) The calendar needs a summary attribute:
      Change this:
      <h2>Calendar</h2>
      <table id=”wp-calendar”>
      <caption>July 2004</caption>
      To this:
      <h2>Calendar</h2>
      <table id=”wp-calendar” summary=”calendar”>
      <caption>July 2004</caption>
      3) The WordPress image is missing the “alt” attribute:
      Find it and add:
      alt=”text decoration” title=”WordPress”
      4) Somewhere in the document, probably the upper part I’d guess, there is be a mal-formed anchor link. I don’t have time to find it.
      You can identify it by looking for this:
      from:
      Find and fix whatever is wrong, & run through Tidy.
      Post again on the same thread. We can take care of some other stuff then.

    whoops…
    1) This:
    <h2>Tools</h2>

      <li id=””>
      2) Should read this:
      <h2>Tools</h2>

    I’d hold your hand, but this medium makes that a bit difficult 😉 You have:
    <li id=””> in your file. You have to give it an actual id name or get rid of id=””. I don’t know how to make it any clearer than that.

    Thanks for the link to TidyHTML! I am now valid! However my permalinks, calender, archives, and comment links no longer work. They all just return to index.php
    This was not the case before I ran the code thru TidyHTML. also I Tidy removed the
    <div class=”header”></div>
    tag which left my header out, i figured that out fairly fast and put the tag back in. I do need help with the internal links. any ideas?
