Hi, i tried to validate a html doc, but the validator complained without
reason. This is an excerpt of the validation results:
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
1.. Line 24, column 19: there is no attribute "SRC" (explain...).
<embed src="firesite/img/flashtest.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="ht tp
^2.. Line 24, column 56: there is no attribute
"QUALITY" (explain...).
..."firesite/img/flashtest.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="ht tp://www.macromedi.. .
^Source Listing
Below is the source input I used for this validation:
1: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
.... 24: <embed src="firesite/img/flashtest.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="ht tp://www.macromedia. com/go/getflashplayer"
type="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash" width="550"
height="400"></embed></object></td>
....The rest of the tags match, and dreamweaver doesn't find anything to
clean up. I even included spaces before and after the equation.Where did I
go wrong?dfirefire

Why do you believe that the validator did not have a reason to complain?
1: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
... 24: <embed src="firesite/img/flashtest.swf" quality="high"
There is no <embed> in the HTML 4.01 Specification.

Nope, it complained with good reason: you have an element "<embed>"
that isn't defined in HTML.
Unfortunately it complained first about the attributes to the
bogus element, which evidently confused you. Maybe you'd fine
Page Valet's "visual" view clearer?

This kind of thing is why you need so much more expertise to generate
anything half-decent with Dreamweaver than with vi or emacs and
standard tools.

The validator did exactly what you asked it to do. The problem is that
you didn't realize what you asked for. See
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/validation.html
This is an excerpt of the validation results:
In future, don't forget to post the URL. This time, things are pretty
clear, by accident:
^2.. Line 24, column 56: there is no attribute
"QUALITY" (explain...).
You're not telling us all the facts, are you? That's just one part of
the report, and the less relevant one.
and dreamweaver doesn't find anything to clean up.

In not studying what validation is before trying to validate.
If you use <embed>, the real problem is not validation. You could write
a DTD of your own, but why? The real problem is that <embed> is a
potential source of confusion, inaccessibility , and poor usability.
Whether this materializes has really nothing to do with validation.

As you might have noticed I'm trying to clean up my web site's
HTML code. The way I do it is simply more or less redoing to
complete site, testing it on a web server I have set up on my
local network.
I have downloaded, and installed CSE HTML Validator Pro,
but I don't get the same results with that as I do with the online
validator on W3.org. And I can't upload files to W3.org either,
due to all the ASP code I use.

Hi,
After the response on my request from W3C I'm still unclear about Tidy
vs. Validator discrepansies. That started with <IFRAME> issue, but
there is more as I know. Anyway, this very basic HTML page:

However, the validator has so many complaints, and being so
incompetent, i have no clue as to how to fix it all.
Would the use of Dreamweaver be of great help?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
