Hi all, I'll try to make this long story short. I took over a website. Initially I saw how FUBAR the code was, but it was never really an issue. Now that we are making more changes the bad code is creeping up. As usual I never have a problem in FF or Safari, but IE always barfs. The URL is http://feedyoursoul.org/index2.html. If you look at it in IE then FF you'll see what it's doing/not doing. When I run a Validation Markup (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedyoursoul.org%2Findex2.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0) I get about 40 errors, I've tried fixing them but it's getting real frustrating, I'll fix one then 3-4 more pop up. So here's what I want. I want to see how much someone will charge to me 1) Get rid of all the errors, and 2)Make the JS and drop work properly like they do in FF. I hope I've explained everything. Thanks.
your getting a lot of errors on all of the pages how are the pages constructed? are they all separate/include files for header, footer, content etc? the more pages you have with identical/similar non validating code the long it will take but.... a quick way to reduce some of the issues would be to get rid of the tables, copy the content out of them from the front end, create a new blank div with p tags and repaste the text only inside, you can sort out styling after move the css into its own file create header, footer files of code so that you only need to do the code once and it can be included in each page, that way you can make sure that code validates and then you can concentrate on the rest of it. it may seem a pain to get it validating but its well worth the effort I'm in the UK here and my hourly rate is not cheap (no way i can compete with some of the charges here) but as i said above the quickest route to validate is to remove the offending code completely and paste the content which at the end of the day is what your concerned with once the framework validates
soulfood needs to be clean the one "cooking" the food is the one in charge if hygiene all errors in the http://validator.w3.org/ output are self explaining use online tutorials to learn the basics in HTML design such as w3schools.com or http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ as a general rule always start TOP error to bottom sometimes ONE error UP in a page may result in a large number of errors below. hence start your first error - then see again what errors are left. error like alt - tag are obvious and easiest to fix. just take your time to study the xhtml standards and you'll know what needs to be done or what is missing.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.sensei-design.info/ Failed validation, 9 Errors that's poor portfolio for someone who wants to clean other ppls code !!
I checked on that this is not even one line I coded this is because of my tld I guess so I can't change things that easy
that has absolutely nothing to do with your DTD, TLD or anything else, ... it's simple wrong HTML code and can be corrected by tghe webmaster/owner of that site !! since YOU are offering code clean up for others on this thread - you are expected to know how to clean up your own SITE. THESE errors you have are easy to fix - just study and solve all on your own if you wish to be credible as code cleaner for others. HTML 4.01 is one of the easiest to keep clean.
