I really need help fixing some of the html errors in Web Journey. If you look at the XHTML validation, you will see that a lot of the error are based on the same thing. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct them.
Hi theblurr5495, plase download and install "HTML Validator" plugin for Firefox and make validation your site. How to use this plugin here: http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/user_guide.html
It would take some time to go through all those errors, but here are the first few in the list: You have improperly nested an h2 and h3 tag and used a deprecated font tag all in the same line of code: <a href="http://www.webjourney.me/blogging-guide"><h2>Blogging Guide</h2><h3><font color="white">Make Your Blog Awesome</h3></a> HTML: You cannot put h1,h2,h3 etc. or any other block element inside an inline element (i.e. <a> tag). h2 = block, a = inline. Get it??? Instead, do something like this: <h2><a href="http://www.webjourney.me/blogging-guide">Blogging Guide</a></h2> <h3 class="subHeading"><a href="http://www.webjourney.me/blogging-guide">Make Your Blog Awesome</a></h3> HTML: And then in your style sheet make the h3 font white: .subHeading{ color: #fff; } Code (markup): This replaces the no longer used <font> tag
Use this DOCTYPE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> rather than <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Because (strict doctype) doesn't allow use some tages like (<font> , <center>, ...) Code (markup): Use this code for main page, I solved many of the errors ...
