I have wittled down my errors from 12 to 2, but the 2 it shows i can't
really do anything about.
1. Line 126, column 48: there is no attribute "COLOR"
<td height="1" colspan="5"><hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"></td>
2. Line 286, column 27: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"
<td width="4" background="right-bittorrent-bg.gif"> </td>
For the first if I delete the color attribute obviously it changes colour
which isn't what i want.
For the second i'm not really sure about.
Dreamweaver MX suggests both the COLOR and BACKGROUND attributes on it's
auto pop-up thing while you're typing, so either DW is wrong or the
validator is wrong. What am I doing wrong to get these errors?
At the top i have:

Ah, that's where you're wrong. There's plenty you can do about it. :)
1. Line 126, column 48: there is no attribute "COLOR"
<td height="1" colspan="5"><hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"></td>
This is presentational, so you'll want to use CSS for this job. You have
severeal options:
1. Apply a style to all of your <hr> elements that make them 1px high with a
color of #CCCCCC. In the head of your document (or in an external style
sheet), add the following:
<style type="text/css">
hr { height: 1px; color: #CCCCCC; }
</style>
Then replace <hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"> with <hr>. The end result will
be valid, and should look like what you had before.
2. Apply a class to specific <hr> elements that you want to have these
properties. In the head of your document (or in an external style sheet),
add the following:
<style type="text/css">
..seperator { height: 1px; color: #CCCCCC; }
</style>
Then put this in your HTML <hr class="seperator">
(Note, you can call the class name anything you'd like, as long as what's in
the HTML matches your CSS, and assuming you follow CSS naming rules).
3. Apply an ID to a single <hr> element that you want to have these
properties. In the head of your document (or in an external style sheet),
add the following:
<style type="text/css">
#seperator { height: 1px; color: #CCCCCC; }
</style>
Then put this in your HTML <hr id="seperator">
(Note, you can call the ID name anything you'd like, as long as what's in
the HTML matches your CSS, and assuming you follow CSS naming rules).
2. Line 286, column 27: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"
<td width="4" background="right-bittorrent-bg.gif"> </td>
Again, presentational. From the looks of it, this table is being used for
layout (which is a job for CSS, not HTML). However, rather than lecture you
on the err of your ways...
<style type="text/css">
#rightbittorrentlayout { background: url(right-bittorrent-bg.gif) no-repeat
top left; }
</style>
<td id="rightbittorrentlayout"> </td>
Dreamweaver MX suggests both the COLOR and BACKGROUND attributes on it's

Dreamweaver is wrong.
My recommendation to you would be to learn some CSS. It's not difficult to
learn, and it's the new standard for presentational properties of a web
page. The spec is available on the W3 website ( www.w3.org) and I'm sure you
can probably find some tutorials if you Google search.

Validation aside, these are presentation issues, and are best left to
css. And if you put them where they belong, i.e., in an external css
file, the html may validate. But it looks like you have more
important things to worry about. Are those tables for layout?
Dreamweaver MX suggests both the COLOR and BACKGROUND attributes on it's
auto pop-up thing while you're typing, so either DW is wrong or the

Unless there is a bug in the validator, and noone has reported any to
explain what you are seeing, the validator is only doing its job,
reporting that the html does not conform to the spec that you've
claimed it conforms to. In other words, Dreamweaver is wrong.

Thank you for your thourough explanations. I have used your second step to
fix my horizontal rules, since i already had an external stylesheet. So
basically i need to remember that CSS is for layout and presentation, not
HTML!
<style type="text/css">
#rightbittorrentlayout { background: url(right-bittorrent-bg.gif)
no-repeat top left; }
</style>
<td id="rightbittorrentlayout"> </td>
Can i put ".rightbittorrentlayout { background: url(right-bittorrent-bg.gif)
no-repeat top left; }" in my stylesheet and use <td
class="rightbittorrentlayout">? I could've tried it already rather than
typing out another question... Thanks again, i'll read up some more on CSS.

The <head> portion of an HTML document, and the http headers sent before a

I've been looking at some CSS layout tutorials, but all the example pages
they show you seem to "squash" when the browser is minimized e.g. http://www.alistapart.com/d/slashdot/ - this is a CSS re-design of
slashdot's code. When you resize it, some images overlap and a host of other
things. Is there a way to set a width so the browser can't "squash" your
text?

COLOR is IE-specific. Use CSS instead.
For the second i'm not really sure about.
BACKGROUND is not in the standards, but is supported by antique browsers
such as NN4. Use CSS. Also use BACKGROUND if you need to support antique
browsers that provide inadequate CSS support, and learn to live with such
validation errors. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
