My websites' HTML is messy from DW and I was wondering if someone could try and help me fix it? Websites are www.goalierthanthou.com and www.adsenseoptimized.com Derek
if you check the w3.org validation it doesn't validate and it says there are errors. There will keep my out of top listings in the SERPS. Derek
the easyest way to fix the errors is looking on what w3c validator say you have errors. Look here the first thing, is the copyright symbol you entered at line 169, this is the first thing you have to remove, because it will make your site fail the test, 169 <font face="Tahoma"><font size=-1>[COLOR="Red"]©[/COLOR] CopyRight 2005 GoalierThanThou.Com 170 All rights Reserved.</font></font> 171 "Goalie Logo ©C. Cleary 2004" 172 </center> Code (markup): change it and put ©, because there is no character set that accepts this symbol, use the html entity instead. remove any BORDERCOLORLIGHT or BORDERCOLORDARK atribute, they will not pass the test. when you have this changed, test again, if you solve each error, your page wil pass w3c. If you need help, I'll help you, but first try to change the basic things.
DW MX 2004 upwards comes with html and css validators. You could use those functions to highlight the bits that need to be changed.
Home page looks fine to me using both IE and Firefox. If you just want to clean up your html some, try this CSE HTML Validator, lower right hand side of the page. Hope that helps.
The design is *there*, but you may need to reformat the font a little bit, it looks too busy. Try to get a cleaner font arrangement.
i like the looks i just want some help getting code to validate...that makes it easier for SE's to spider
The first one needs an Encoding iso-8859-1 meta tag and just a few html problems fixed. Change the body tag margin stuff to CSS and change two backgorund settings in a table to CSS. The second one needs the encoding tag, one instance of the doc type removed , a table fixed, an img tag fixed, and an H1 fixed.
No errors in DW, friend... If you care to edit it please let me know, and please do so. Doesn't mean its w3c valid.
Well Dreamweaver is not necessarilly w3c code though. That's why he asked for w3c validation on the DW generated code. Yes, the DW code renders, but it's not w3c usually. Did I misunderstand the point?
hehe I think you missed somthin. "No errors in DW, friend..." "Doesn't mean its w3c valid." EDIT:tis ok I'm a bit tired/moody sry bout that.
BTW adsense optimized I think we would be better off with a new layout. what do you think? In regards to your "hockey" page. EDIT: ummm I think I'm missing something now, adsense why is this marked as your homepage via profile? http://www.homeequityexplained.com/
Are there really any documented evidence that W3C will improve SERPs for our pages? If anyone ever checked google.com for W3C compliance, there like 100+ errors. Or google is the exception because is the search engine king?
