Xhtml Validation

**morse** · 25.02.09, 18:28

the first error is
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'># Error Line 2, Column 119: end tag for "link" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

…ef="../themes/blue_medium.css"></head><body><div><img src="../images/logo.gif

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
</div>

the second is
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>Error Line 2, Column 216: there is no attribute "align".

…3:55 - Wed 25th Feb 09</div><p align="center">Welcome back admin
[b]FO</div>
w3cvalidator says You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

further .. the third error is
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>Line 2, Column > 80: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 2 and head.

…ink rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../themes/blue_medium.css"></head>…</div>

lastly the fourth and the fifth are
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>Line 2, Column > 80: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: head line 2 and html.

…ink rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../themes/blue_medium.css"></head>…

Line 2, Column > 80: XML Parsing Error: Premature end of data in tag html line 1.

…ink rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../themes/blue_medium.css"></head>…</div>

Sorry for putting up this lengthy description, But the eroors are very confusing. Getting an eroor for something which is supposed to be correct is strange .. or maybe its not correct. Please help me get rid of those and if anybody knows then plz guide me as to where should i put the html compression code ??? I know its boring and annoying to read all this but plz help me out with this

see this !!

Code:

 echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"../themes/$theme[0]\"/>";

You didnt close the link try now with that.

that just did the magic bro... thank you very much. My 5 validation errors are now reduced to 1. so what should i do now ??
the validator is asking me to change my headers to transitional document type. Will that give any problem ?? And how can i use cache to save loading time ? hope am not bugging you for too much .. reducing 5 errors to 1 error was already a big accomplishment .. thanks

Dont use
or
or

do this when you wont the script to to use

Do this

<div> Hello world!! </div>

that will pass

**subzero** · 25.02.09, 20:59

also dont use <p align="center"> </p> use <div style="text-align: left"> </div>

Only use cache on a site that is not chat or forums or sql that users and you use inputs etc

only use cache as like download and index where ppl see it then cut the cache when they login..

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

or

<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="max-age=0"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="must-revalidate"/>

If you are able to suggest then it be really wonderful, else i guess i will have to learn implementing xhtml with php

**subzero** · 26.02.09, 13:54

try not to use <p align=\"center\"> use this <div style=\"text-align: center\"> and remember to change </p> to </div>

**morse** · 26.02.09, 16:06

wont that have implications with my css ?? coz bro my css is supposed to render everyting in div to a certain colour.... that would just mess the look completely ... aint there any other way out ? why does xhtml has to this harsh ?

**subzero** · 26.02.09, 16:07

no it wont do any just align it thats all

its like <p do

**morse** · 27.02.09, 14:37

Thanks for all the help sub ...

**subzero** · 27.02.09, 14:41

all passed ??

**morse** · 27.02.09, 15:43

ya all passed but this script is a mess bro. It takes hours to correct everything ... its rather a data entry operator work than building a script .... way too tiresome. Didnt know that xhtml validation was that really strict.

**subzero** · 27.02.09, 16:12

my site taken me 1 month to now how it is lol

its made so clear that i didnt miss any holes or make them lol
