Just a comment: Valid Markup?

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 11:48 am

Gawd here I am breaking my fingers over getting my site W3C HTML ok ... just because I saw the icon at the bottom of this site hahaha.

So well after a total phase of braindead a smart idea entered my head.

CHECK IT!!!

So I checked .... put this site into the validator ....... guess what????? It's NOT valid hahahaha

I should've checked before I started breaking my head over it UGH.

Oh I heard 64bitguy is working on getting nuke ok with W3C Smile

I can't wait but in the meanwhile I'll try to get my site straight.

Do you know 1 error is enough and your site isn´t W3C valid.
For example my start page is valid, but I wrote a new story with some br tags. Checked my site today and new surprise:

2 errors and of course "This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!"
"end tag for element "BR" which is not open"
Easily to fix, but there are other errors from the forums like" document type does not allow element "HTML" here.
<html dir="ltr">
And this isn´t easy to fix, I quess.

Oh I know very well it's hard to get it right and to keep it right Smile

it's just a challenge to keep it valid ... well I'll have to make it valid first Cool

lol

So far I fixed 20 errors ... started with 54 ... this is going to take a lifetime

Yes. it´s a hard job to get nuke W3C valid.Therefore I find it´s great that 64bitguy is working on that typical nuke problem.

I have never said my site was W3C because it isn't. If you read more closely at the bottom. It says the THEME is 100% compliant. It doesn't say the site is Smile

I could personally not have agreed more but I was waiting for Raven to reply first. Your post was confrontational from the first word with "Gawd" in that manner. All you had to do was ask or even post your comments more kindly. Raven never claims anything that isn't. He would never mislead someone. Wink

Heh! The Dutch sure have a way with words, don't they? Wink

Personally, I take validators (W3C included) with a grain of salt. I love it when you have, like, 638 errors, because you forgot to close a paragraph tag, or whatever -- you fix that one thing, recheck, and then you only have 203 errors -- fix one more thing, then you're down to 96 errors -- you know?

I´m not often in Netherlands but it´s not far away. I understand only a few words Dutch but I believe that the ability to communicate with others don´t depend on nationality but more on social and people skills. Cool

That's the domino effect. It's not unique with validators, for sure. Compilers are the same way. The PHP Interpreter is too, except they have programmed it to just stop after the first fatal error. Then you peel the onion.

apologies accepted ofcourse Smile

sh*t happens ... all I can say is that I have every respect for those who code/script PHP and can get stuff like nuke happening. I'm already happy if I can get a "hello world" on my screen Neutral
