Please Help With Multiple Validation Errors

[traytray]

I've made some changes to the main page www.designerperfumesnob.com and decided to see how the page would validate and I'm shocked to see 95 errors!

Here's one: X is not a member of a group specified for any attribute

• Line 830, column 184: "img" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute …en"><img width="225" height="300" img src="images/isimages/flight-of-fancy.jpg…

Fixing this error would fix six instances, but interestingly I have many more than six images on this page, so why are these pinpointed?


Now here is another that probably covers all images on the page:


end tag for X omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified


• Line 830, column 277: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified …mages/flight-of-fancy.jpg" alt="Flight Of Fancy EDT by Anna Sui for Women"></a>

What am I doing wrong there?

There are other errors as well, but they are more individualized. I can't figure how to correct those either.

Any help available?

Thanks!

Your images have 2 "img" tags in each of them, fix that and most of your errors will go away

Have you tried turning your url re-writer OFF to see if that's the cause of the problem?

I removed the second "img" tag and got down to 89 errors. I put an awful lot of work into creating URL's and would like to see if I could remove the remaining errors before I resort to turning the re-writer off.

The biggest issue was:

Line 830, column 273: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified …mages/flight-of-fancy.jpg" alt="Flight Of Fancy EDT by Anna Sui for Women"></a>

There were approx. 78 of those instances. They don't appear to be affected by a URL, but I'm not qualified to know for certain.

I made one change:

<a href="http://www.designerperfumesnob.com/womens-perfume/Anna-Sui/Flight-Of-Fancy/EDT/2.5oz" title="Flight Of Fancy Perfume by Anna Sui for Women"><img width="225" height="300" src="images/isimages/flight-of-fancy.jpg" alt="Flight Of Fancy EDT by Anna Sui for Women"/></a>

I added that forward slash to all 78 of those instances, and it reduced my errors down to 11.

I thought it was important to mention, in case anyone else is having a similar situation.

I'd love to be error free. I still would like suggestions on fixing remaining issues barring losing the URL re-writer.

My suggestion to see if the errors disappeared by turning the url re-writer off was to see if that was a cause of the problem.
If it was, then that is where you should look for a solution.

Another quick look shows that for the "Fierce Fabulous Fragrances" sidebox has errors that are caused by having a <hr /> inside the list items.
Not allowed.
Take a look at the categories box for a way that doesn't use a <hr /> tag

One of the BIG things showing currently in a error search is that the validators think the mainWrapper div is NOT closed.

Total Validator shows

Page checked:	http://www.designerperfumesnob.com/
Total errors found:	1 Parsing, 24 HTML, 10 Section 508, 11 Link, 146 Spell Check
Total warnings found:	3 Parsing, 32 Section 508, 11 Link

The spell check errors are understandable with perfumes having strange names. The 508 might not apply if you're outside the US.

You also appear to have some problems with the database settings. Strange characters in the product description are an indication of such.
