    I got so many errors when validating my site with W3C validator service, is it normal with Joomla! ? Some of it I understand it's my mistake, my error, but some dont, it comes from inside the Joomla itself .. does anyone have any idea bout this ? Is it affect ranking, browsing pattern, crawlers etc ? I need to know .. anyway, i'm newbie :)

    I tried validating one of my Joomla sites once too.The result was frightening.I haven't tried again since.
    But don't worry.I have loads of keywords in top ten in major search engines using these sites.So as far as I can see it doesn't really matter as long as your site works.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    same here...but the robots are designed to be forgiving...as long as its not a najor error. Its almost impossible to make a CMS validate since there are so many possible modules etc that can be added or removed from any position on the page. I guess you would have to hand edit the code to make it validate. I dont think it would be worth the time.

    If it's not affecting the site ranking etc, than that would be OK, but I test browsing the site using Konqueror, and everytime, I got an error says "Giving up :( cannot create an XMLHTTP instance", and that's not make me happy, since I want to give every browsers an ability to browse in.
