• Ok ive managed to devide the site contents between the left and right side.(was like 75% left and 25% right)
    But now i have a validate problem…and i hate that..
    The validator shows this result….

    Line 279, column 5: end tag for "ul" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
    </div>
    You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
    Line 127, column 0: start tag was here


      So what do i have to do to take out the errors ?

  • You don’t have a closing ul tag (for the one noted to start at line 127) before you’ve closed off your menu div.

    well ive tried something…but got it all wrong…
    can anyone type exactly what i need to do or change…
    remember im dutch and read english but we sometimes understand it differently…
    so more detailed please…

    I was having the same problems yesterday. I’m not sure this applies to your situation but with mine it was the other php files that were called in that were having validation problems.
    If you are using http://validator.w3.org/ to validate click on the “Extended interface” button. Then check the “Show source” box. This will include the source as W3c sees it. This helped because the lines in the index.php when I viewed them on my machine were different from W3c.

    thanks but its a validate thing…
    i changed some contents to the right side and that caused it..
    anyone ?

    If you look at the beginning of your menu div, you’ll see an opening ul tag. However, this never closes (before the div does), hence the error.

    hi and thanks,but this doesnt solve my problem…i dont know any shit about this.
    taking

      out causes the links to turn into shit.
      so i need a solution to the letter how to solve..
      again thanks for helping but 7 posts now and now answer to this simple validate question.

    Je hebt deze tag nodig
    voor de laaste div op regel 280 probeer dat eens.
    Ik hoop dat dit helpt 🙂

    I never said to remove any tags. ;) As shadow noted, _add_ the closing
    tag right at the end of your menu div element.

    hi beel…
    thanks shadow …but where ever i put the closing

    ,it doesnt help….
    and for beel…………i did validate the index and was validated.
    but i didnt liked how it was cause the leftside was so large…
    but i just need the errors taken out thats all…
    and i cannot take out the

      at line 127 cause that would change my link into blue and purple….
      ive checked my backed up index and the
      was also there just after the div id menu…
      so who can come up with a solution…
      a

    in front,on top , below , inside , or whatever where…at the bottom div’s doesnt help…

    Right, you first have to fix the page so that the html is correct and then fix the look in the css. You have a /ul too far down, move it up above the /div and then you will be close to validation. After you validate, post your questions about what look you want to change and we will tell you what to do in the css.
    I have to take the dog out for a walk before the football game, but I will be back in an hour.

    John,
    Take out the
    that is at the end of your menu tags and looks like this:
    </div>
    </div>


    and put it in like this instead


    </div>
    </div>

    Failing that you have another

      open somewhere which shouldn’t be too hard to find. But try the above first ok 🙂
