Title: Firefox and Flickr Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Firefox and Flickr * [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/) * I am getting more and more entralled with the Firefox browser but it takes some getting used to. my flickr images are only shown as links in Firefox. I downloaded the Firefox sidebar add-on thinking that was it but nope, not what I wanted. note: i am using Sidebar Widgets. Any Firefox experts?

You need to learn to code for standards. * If all you’ve been using is IE (especially IE6 and prior) then it’s a mistake to code for IE, and try to fix it for other browsers. My guess is that’s what you’ve done. * Again, this is a guess, because you haven’t provided a link or anything. But I bet if you run your page and CSS through the validator, you’re gonna come up with *lots* of errors. Fix those, and you might be in a better position to fix the problem you’re having. * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556447) * doodlebee, there you are! i am on a mac and use safari. since working with WP i have gotten away from IE – entirely. * i have done the validator thing and there are lot’s of errors that look ok! the validator has issues 😉 but let’s see where this discussion ends up 3-6 months from now. * i am working on css through the backdoor = firefox/dreamweaver then try to recreate in css. it is a slow process at this end. * do you need a link to help me with flickr? thanks! * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556448) * i just noticed that the technorati, blogline, etc., icons are gone also in firefox… * r * [Doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/) * (@doodlebee) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556496) * Hmm…(and yes, here I am 🙂 Been mighty busy – which is why I’m so slow – sorry’ bout that) * Yeah, a link would be great. At least then we could actually *see* what we’re trying to fix 😉 * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556498) * > _i have done the validator thing and there are lot’s of errors that look ok! > the validator has issues 😉_ * The validator has no issues. Really. If it says your page is invalid, I’d trust it more than I’d trust you. * Valid code is not a matter of “it looks ok”. There is a standard. If you do not adhere to that standard, then it doesn’t matter how it looks. * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556499) * otto, no argument with your POV. at issue may be my inability to decipher the validator. i find it hard to locate where the error sits in the document. i have gone through the FAQ’s, the this and that, etc. any light on this one? the site below has 86 non-valid issues. * doodlebee, welcome back… while waiting i went directly to firefox support. i was instructed to open a new profile and everything is working. now i have to add the items back and see if there is a conflict or maybe something was corrupt. i might just let sleeping dogs lie and rebuild on an as-needed basis. * here is the site and currently all sidebar images on page one are there vs just links earlier today… * [http://petmonologues.com](http://petmonologues.com) (note: the home page is a table configured page while i learn css construction better and how to talk to the database = fancy static page.) * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556507) * Okay. Looking at your actual page, here: [http://www.petmonologues.com/pet022207/](http://www.petmonologues.com/pet022207/) * First error: You’re missing a title in the head section. Titles are not optional in XHTML 1.0 Transitional. * Second error: `
` all by itself is invalid and unclosed in XHTML. Use `

` instead, or preferably . * Third problem: `` instead. * And so on. These are not difficult to fix, mostly. Just run the validator, go fix the error it tells you, then come back and run it again. Usually fixing one error will make several of the errors that the validator gives you disappear. Takes no real time to do. And it makes it a *lot* easier to fix display problems when the page is valid code. * [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.petmonologues.com%2Fpet022207%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1#line-96](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.petmonologues.com%2Fpet022207%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1#line-96) * As far as finding the error.. Turn on “Show Source” and it will make the line numbers clickable, taking you right to the error in your source. * [Doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/) * (@doodlebee) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556511) * Ottos’ last post should read “use `
`“- just so you know. (Self-closing tags are great – less markup.) * Everything else he said is absolutely correct 🙂 * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556512) * Huh. The forum edited it out. It was supposed to be: * “Use `

` instead, or preferably `
`.” * But either is acceptable and valid. The former is acceptable for both HTML and XHTML. The latter is only valid for XHTML. * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-and-flickr/#post-556530) * ok, did not run away and hide. got busy. thanks and i will start pecking away at the non-valid code. * ok, looked at my very latest post today = 5/15/07, a mini-post using mini-post widget. i looked at the post code directly via admin panel and the code looks correct. i then went into mini-post options and the following code = * mini-post format =

It looks like your comments are getting parsed. You need to surround code with backticks so it won’t get parsed.
