Help me validate my website!

[Miladin Miladinoski]

Hello,

I really need help in validating my WordPress website/blog so it conforms
to the Web standards as defined by W3C.org.

My site is http://miladinoski.trap17.com and it fails with 10 errors on
the validation test :
[
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0
]

Thanks!

Miladin

I do not understand the problem. The validator messages are clear and
concise. Some of these lines, however, can be the result of previous errors,
so start by closing the link element, and validate again.

Perhaps the OP's problem is that he wants to fix errors created by Word
Press using Word Press. He needs to open the HTML file in a text editor
and manually fix the errors.

OK, thanks very much, after fixing that error (which i didn't knew which
fault is it sorry for my newbieness) 3 errors have dissapeared, but now I
need help with the last 4 ones. To me it seems that they are fine, but I'm
obviously not an expert and need help in what do I need to edit so they
dissapear.

Thanks!

You might be better off creating your web page 'by hand' rather than
having software generate it for you. Some of the html looks a little
chaotic :-).

Next error:

#v+
Line 376, Column 24: document type does not allow element "style" here.

<style type='text/css'>
#v-

refers to:

#v+
<style type='text/css'>
.gallery {
margin: auto;
}
.gallery-item {
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 33%;}
.gallery img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
.gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}
</style>
#v-

Which, when written in this fashion, should be in the head rather than
the body. Having said that you would be better served by placing all the
styles as _external_ css.

I don't have WordPress, but it seems to be an error in 'media.php'. It
inserts a style
element in the document body. It is suggested that you copy the css
content from
media.php into your style.css (line 373). Line 412 is said missing an
end slash. I
don't know, look at this (just skip the comment to Dickie):

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164825

Here is the style you're looking for:

<style type='text/css'>
..gallery {
margin: auto;
}
..gallery-item {
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 33%; }
..gallery img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
..gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}
</style>

Just working from memory here:

You ran the a tag into attributes a couple of times. Use search to
check for <atitle and <ahref (you must have a space after the <a ).
You did the same with <imgsrc which must be changed to <img src.
You put a style element in the body of your document. It must be moved to
the head or removed altogether. Along about line 529 or thereabouts
you opened a paragraph, had a script and then opened paragraph again.
You cannot have a paragraph in a paragraph, so you must eliminate one of the
paragraph opens or you must close the first one before you open the second.

That's all I can remember, but if there are still problems after that, I'll
look at it again.

I downloaded WordPress 2.5.2, but nothing matches. The link is about
"WordPress version: 2.5". It's an error in the core,
and still not fixed. You could try to write an plug-in like Dickie is
suggesting, but even the core code is a mess. A found the style code
in "wp-includes/media.php" (on line 426), but by simply removing that
an return an empty variable to the $output variable, you're taking
away a feature.

A couple of lines below (the if sentence on line 460) i found this
snippet:

<br style="clear: both" />

Well, that's well formed, but not valid. The clear property applies
only to block-level elements, not inline text-level elements like the
'br' element. To be valid they should have used a block-level element
or (in an transitional document) the deprecated 'clear' attribute <br
clear="both" />.

With a lot of work you could manage to make it well formed, but it
would still not be valid. I think you would have to let it go, and
live with it. And I think it would be better in the long run to just
report the bugs and join their community.

I think technically it's still valid-- using styles that don't apply
just means they don't apply.

CSS isn't exactly valid or invalid in the same way HTML is, but it can
have errors in it, but clear: both isn't an error whatever you set it
on.

You are right clear is only supposed to apply to block-level elements
since CSS 2.1, but all browsers make an exception for <brI suppose
since to treat <br clear="left"dif ferently from <br style="clear:
left"would just be confusing.
