Mene12Hello all,
I am trying to build a new site for my inlaws. They are a small business and don't make a lot, so I try my best with the knowledge I do have.
The site I am currently building for them is running very slowly on the back end most of the time, and the front - sometimes never loads at all. I tried http://validator.w3.org, from an other support thread on here and it returned some info I really don't know what to do with. If anyone is able and willing, I would appreciate some help. Here is what the test turned up:
Line 2, Column 13: there is no attribute "XMLNS"<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

The sequence <FOO /> can be interpreted in at least two different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag <FOO (with an implied '>'). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.
Line 4, Column 77: character data is not allowed here <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include:
•putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>), or
•forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or
•using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as <meta ... />) in HTML 4.01 or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML.
