W3C Validation Problems

[robbie269]

I ran the W3C validation today and got a few errors and warnings.

I fixed a few of them but still have about 13 errors. The remainder mainly have to do with the geotrust seal and the paypal seal in my blank side box.

Have I done something wrong in putting the code where I did, is there a better way?

When using XHTML, such as Zen Cart does, you cannot use Capital letters within HTML tags.

Example - wrong
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="//smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"></SCRIPT>

Example - correct
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"></script>


You'll also noticed I removed LANGUAGE="javascript" which is not needed and also fixed the link to read src="http://smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"

Correct the other Capitalization's and re-validate.

Thanks Rob.

That did the trick.

One question: why do you add the http: to the link?

I only have 1 error now. And it seems to relate to my template, which is Cherry Zen. Should I bother trying to fix it or is one error OK?

Any images or javascript which are pulled into your site from off-site locations should always have https addresses (if the content appears on https pages). The reason being that content pulled in from http addresses will cause security warnings when switching from http to https pages.

For instance src="http://smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"> should be src="https://smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js">

p.s. As the error remaining is just a missing div tag I'd recommend you correct it.

All fixed!

Thank you Vger.
