Hi
I have been validating all day most things are cool but I cant get by this
problem.
One I have listed the script (JAVASCRIPT ) in all the right placesnot a prob
but the validator insists on going through t findind < (less than) in the
code.
why is it going through the script the scripts been tagged correctly?
Also in the body where the link to the script is there is a table givng
image size (height width)
validator says this is a no pass
doesnt much like the table
I cant put a style on the table and address that through CSS cos it messes
with the script
Tried putting the sript outside the page in a js file didnt work either.
Any ideas
Its a nice little image slideshow very slow n subtle i'd ike to leave it in
but transitional validations a must (UNI)
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
1.. Line 84, column 18: character "<" is the first character of a
delimiter but occurred as data
for (iss = 1; iss < pss+1; iss++){
If you wish to include the "<" character in your output, you should escape
it as "<". Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a
previous tag.

2.. Line 106, column 14: an attribute value specification must be an
attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified
<body onload= runSlideShow() >
?
3.. Line 106, column 26: an attribute value must be a literal unless it
contains only name characters
<body onload= runSlideShow() >
You have used a character that is not considered a "name character" in an
attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies
between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that
unless the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z
you must put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have
extreme file size requirements it is a very very good idea to always put
quote marks around your attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and
very often it is absolutely necessary.

4.. Line 211, column 289: required attribute "alt" not specified
...width="71" height="89" align="right" /></p>
The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but
you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the
"type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute
is required for the "img" element.
Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and
type="text/javascript" for <script>.

5.. Line 216, column 70: required attribute "alt" not specified
..."nicar/nicarmap.JPG" width="414" height="329" /> </p>

6.. Line 233, column 46: an attribute value specification must be an
attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified
<td><div align="center"><img src="" width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>
?
7.. Line 233, column 57: an attribute value specification must be an
attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified
<td><div align="center"><img src="" width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>
?
8.. Line 233, column 67: an attribute value specification must be an
attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified
...n="center"><img src="" width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>
?
9.. Line 233, column 77: required attribute "alt" not specified
..."" width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>
?
10.. Line 233, column 78: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was
specified
... width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>
You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to
"self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
?
11.. Line 233, column 28: start tag was here
<td><div align="center"><img src="" width=105 height=138 name=PictureBox>

attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified
