W3C and W3CS validation errors

Hello,

can someone please help me fix the HTML and CSS errors I get when validating a website?

The url is www.naturalfinesse.com

Thanks

You need to lose the html,head, body, meta,title tags wrapping your flash in BANNERS GROUPSET 1

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

   <head>
        <title>XML Banner Rotator</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    </head>

    <body>

and

Code:

</body>

</html></div>

That will get you started

extend the comment to include the closing form tag....

Code:

<!--
<form name="currencies" action="http://www.naturalfinesse.com/index.php?main_page=index" method="get">
                 <select name="currency" class="select" onchange="this.form.submit();">
  <option value="EUR" selected="selected">Euro</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="index" />-->
</form>

In this section of code you jump from table right to td (table cell) without opening a table row (tr)

Code:

<table width="741" height="245" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

			<td align="center">

				<!-- this div will be overwritten by SWF object -->
				<div id="FlabellComponent">
					<p>In order to view this object you need Flash Player 9+ support!</p>
					<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
						<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player"/>
					</a>
				</div>

			</td>
		</table>

Anyone understands this last error?

Line 384, Column 29: there is no attribute "height"

<table width="741" height="245" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Thanks

The error says it all really. There is no height attribute for tables. they're intended to expand as needed to display their contents.

**Yiannis** · 27 Jul 2010, 08:28 AM

Thanks for the reply.

I removed the height attribute and I get the following errors.

Line 187, Column 80: xmlParseEntityRef: no name

…top-span"><a class="category-top_un" href="http://www.naturalfinesse.com/anti-…

Any help on that?

Thanks

You have several validation errors all occurring in column 80 but in completely different places. I've not seen this before, but suspect that you have built your site (or copied in part of it) using an editor that wraps text after the 80th character and has left a line break or some other hidden character behind.

I dont even know where to start looking...however I see these errors occur only when I remove the height attribute.
