Hello Dears: please help me to correct all 34 error http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.767 www.extra-pc.com/vb
Simply go to the first error, and check the source. In this case, you have a style element where it's not allowed. Since the style element is only allowed in the head, that's pretty obvious. Fix that, and move to the next error. Check and fix them one at a time until done. Fix what you can, but don't give up too easily; do some study. What you can't figure out, come ask us. Keep in mind, we're not here to do the work for you; just to help you understand so you can do it. cheers, gary
hello i fix error from 140 to 43 before just now i want to know this error meaning? # you really want to use shorttags, be aware that they are not well implemented by browsers. # Error Line 529, Column 1: document type does not allow element "li" here; missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag <img class="inlineimg" src="extra-pc/statusicon/subforum_old-32.png" alt="" bor… ✉ The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
You will find that nearly all major sites, other than W3, do not validate 100%. Take a look at amazon, etc. Concentrate on the ones that impact the user's experience.
You've got an embedded style sheet in the middle of the body - it needs to either be in an external style sheet, or in the head: <style type="text/css"> #welcomeDivContainer { position:relative; } #WelcomeDiv { width:100%; margin-right:1px; } .openWelcomeDiv { width:13px; height:13px; background:url(images/buttons/collapse_40b_collapsed.png) no-repeat; position:absolute; left:10px; top:4px; display:none; } .closeWelcomeDiv { width:13px; height:13px; background:url(images/buttons/collapse_40b.png) no-repeat; position:absolute; left:10px; top:4px; } </style>
More problems - I've colour coded it to hopefully make it more readable - the colours of the same colour, belong to the same UL: <ul id="navtabs" class="navtabs floatcontainer"> <li class="selected"> <ul class="floatcontainer"> <li><a rel="help" href="faq.php">التعليمـــات</a></li> <li><a href="calendar.php">التقويم</a></li> <li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">المجموعات</a> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"></ul> this ul has been closed immediately - you may just need to swap them around (put the closed UL first, but that depends on the structure you're trying to achieve) </li> <li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">عمليات المنتدى</a> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?do=markread">اجعل كاÙØ© الأقسام مقروءة</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">خيارات سريعة</a> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li><a href="showgroups.php" rel="nofollow">مشاهدة طاقم الإدارة</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>
