 * Hi all,
 * I’m running this site for [canyoning events in Germany](http://xn--canyoningallgu-iib.de)
 * Lately, especially after upgrading my theme I’m getting a lot of div Errors like
   this:
 *  Line 272, Column 433: Attribute out not allowed on element div at this point.
 * …entrance=”effect” id=”square-lit” class=”squareLitDemo shape animated fadeOut”
   >
 * Anybody knows how to fix that?
 * Glad to get advice,
 * thanks
 * Chris

 * Short of rewriting you theme probably not.
 * What are you using to validate your html?
 * `<div out="fadeOut" in="fadeIn" style="height: 259.767px; width: 479.767px; top:
   0px; background: url("http://xn--canyoningallgu-iib.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/
   11/Canyoning-Allgaeu-Gunzesried-Familie.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top / 100%
   auto transparent; margin-left: 0px; right: 0px; transform: rotate(0deg);" entrance
   ="effect" id="square-lit" class="squareLitDemo shape animated fadeOut">`
 * ‘out’, ‘in’ and ‘entrance’ are not valid attributes in html mark up. their there
   to communicate with the javascript (probably a plugin) used by the theme developer
   on how to animate the div’s. the correct way to do this would have been using
   data-* i.e. ‘data-in’, ‘data-out’, ‘data-entrance’ which is valid html5 however
   changing them will more than likely break the javascript plugin doing the animating
   as it will also need to be changed to look for correctly named attributes.
 * Their not the end of the world as any browser that doesn’t know what to do with
   them will ignore them, it’s not neat or efficient but it shouldn’t break anything
   which is probably why the plugin/theme developer(s) haven’t noticed/fixed the
   issue.
 * If you bought the theme maybe raise a support tick if you can, pointing out that
   the theme doesn’t validate and uses non standard attributes. But the response
   will probably be its the javascript plugins fault
