hi
record high XHTML error,due to the fact that i have html codes on my worpress side bar,mainly affiliates.
Is there a plugin to use, to stop errors?
Url we are working with is : Blog
I do have a " FIX DATABASE PLUGIN"but that reports no erros. Blog is 1 month old.
help and suggestions are needed.
plugin to use to stop errors? no.

that site is a pigsty, code-wise. you clean it up my "cleaning it up".

i dont understand what i am doing wrong..
The codes inserted are normal html codes, seperated by a <P> </P>
How can i clean it up?
theres no magic fix, you just have to start at the top with the errors, fix them as you see 'em and revalidate as you go along.
I apologize, btw, for the harsh language used in my first reply. 900+ errors .. thats a lot.

If you want it to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional the tags and attributes names must be written lowercase. So <P> is not allowed, but <p> is.

errors are at 914.. i am now on my way..

Yes, every tag, but also the attributes, like in
<FORM ACTION="http://www.poppydog.com/poll.do" METHOD="post" onSubmit=...
this should be:
<form action="http://www.poppydog.com/poll.do" method=post" onsubmit=...

Take it from a person who has a blog which is XHTML 1.0 strict, clear your simple errors first, your markups. Simple stuff like align, /> ... etc Fix them first before going down to your individual sidebar problems.
I noticed you have 881 errors now, it is yet another improvement.

I need to know what are the errors before I can advise you.
Posted 4 years ago #
ok.. ooh xhtml validation is here
the code above works fine in a normal website..but i guess for worpress you need to alter it.
The listings is too many, it would be a pain for any of us to go through it. Like I said before, solve the simple markups before heading down to why your polls are not valid.
Posted 4 years ago #
Go to lower case throughout. Everything. Hang in there Tracey. We are rooting for you. :)

Well i removed the free poll i had.used a blogflux poll.
The original polls with stay on my website not blog,it doesn't seem to wok well here,I know nothing else but some html.
After the polls were gone its better.Anymore tips,for me in fixing the 653 errors left.

I know a little bit about html and css. If I were you I would just get on and enjoy the blogging experience. Leave validation to the nerdy types. :)
Based on what I seen, you should go through the structure again. The UL LI are misplaced and on top of that, some deprecated attributes like align and size ... etc, go through that. Those errors are listed when you validate it, very simple really.
@Root: I don't agree with you, being validated helps in SEO. I have had a couple of searches linked to my site, and I owe part of it it to the good markup I have on my site.

I need some help with xhtml validation as well. I don't the 900+ errors mentioned above, but I do have about 175 errors and I'm doing my best to read the "verbose" feedback from validator.w3.org, but sometimes I get errors and it mentions <p> tags, but I never put <p> tags in my posts, so I just don't know where it is finding the code it says is incorrect. Anybody got a moment to try a validation on my site and give me a little direction? I'd really appreciate it. My site url is: http://www.thepsychfiles.com
Thanks!
Michael
PS: should I be using character entities in my blog posts instead of just typing away in the wysiwyg wordpress editor?
Here's a tip:
You need to nest li within ul, and a lot of errors seem to be coming from that direction.

Thanks Darran. There definitely were problems with how I was handling unordered lists, so I've been focusing on that and the error count is down to about 130 or so.
The error I can't seem to fix is this: I placed the Feedburner email notification code inside a text widget in my sidebar and it seems to be causing errors because the code contains a ? instead of &. However, whenever I change the code in the widget, it doesn't save when I click the "update" button. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks!
What is the exact code?
