Validate, validate, validate. That is what they always say before asking for help with CSS. I understand that. But what happens if you don't know to how to make heads or tails of your validation errors?
To cut to the chase, this is site that I'm working
on.
There are a couple of issues that I'm trying to understand when it comes to validation.
First, I get errors about me missing a head or start tag. Here is an example of my site;
Code:
document type does not allow element "meta" here; assuming missing "head" start-tag .
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
Or I seem to missing a ul, ol, or menu start tag such as this;
Code:
document type does not allow element "li" here; missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag .
<li> <li><a href='#
But when I check my html, I know that I don't have two li li tags like that, so I don't understand how the validator came to that conclusion?
I have 12 validating errors. 10 of them are because of improper nesting with my lists.
and then third error I get is ;
Code:
end tag for element "a" which is not open .
...rmation <a href="/sitemap/" />Sitemap</a></p>
I don't get it. Isn't the "/a" supposed to be there?
Help me make sense of validation so that I can please the validating gods and make this site xhtml 1.0 valid!
BTW- if there is online resource that helps give examples of how to validate xhtml elements in a non-techie way, then that would be appreciated.
