I have been trying to validate my web site using the W3C validation service and have been having a hard time with Framesets. I don't know if it is me, or the validator, but I can not get any frames to validate correctly - my own, or even others, including the W3C's own examples. The results I get are: 1.. Line 6, column 15: there is no...

About once a week, I post an FAQ pointer in this newsgroup under the same heading as this post. That pointer has two purposes: 1.

Some style guides suggest to repeat a DC.creator meta-element for multiple authors, but doesn't this contradict its specification?

What is the current way for stating what a java script TITLE is for xhtml strict since I must be over looking it? W3 validation said there is no title. When I wrote the site 5 years ago to strict xhtml which was validated at w3 site it was like this as well for Bobby: <a id="back"><!-- Today Date --></a> <script type="text/javascript"...

My images are fixed in size and can't be redone. Many of them are tall and narrow. How can I wrap text so that the text starts on the right of the image at a level with the top of the image. So that resizing the browser window will cause the text to wrap below the image.

Also, I can't test I.E on Mac,...

Hello, While I haven't finished my wonderful tutorial to save the world, I do have a simple question. What's the difference between h1 and the title tag? For me it seems as though both can be used interchangebly. For example, the articles on my site (andkon.com) have the same title as h1. Comments?

I've heard you're not suppose to use tables for layout control - but many do anyway. If you look at my page http://njbassonline.com/ you will see what I'm trying to do. My question is: if I'm using tables inappropriately, how else would I accomplish the news area and weather area groupings? I tried <p> and <div> but I kept getting spaces...

Hi, I have submitted my site to many search engines, However, some don't work, and others came back with a rejection email saying couldn't find description and title.

I need to transfer a large amount of data, ~85kB. As a convenience (to myself) I'd like to just stuff this in a hidden field. I've noticed that there has been quite a bit written about limits on textareas (although I'm unsure what those actually are). Is there any browser imposed limit on hidden fields? Jeff
