I don't see any errors on your page. It validates fine.

Are these errors reported because of some proprietary coding used on the pages that the W3C Page Validator is not equipped to evaluate?
Or, are these reported errors accurate, because the pages get messed up over time because multitudes of folks are constantly making changes, and introducing errors?
It's a little of both. It's also the result of a cost/benefit analysis by the producing bean counters, I think.  If the page will display OK without taking the extra time to code properly then why do it?  I would also imagine that there is quite a bit of legacy code involved. 
The websites to look at are those of the folks who talk the talk....
My personal ethic and workflow prevent me from taking such a cavalier approach.

  • W3C CSS and Markup Validation Service

    I just finished my first CSS Web site using PhotoShop, Fireworks, Flash and Dreamweaver.  I did the site from the ground up, the visual way according to some tutorials I found that are uploaded at the Adobe Media Player server.  The site checks out with zero errors using the CSS and Markup W3C Validation Services. The design holds together at http://browsershots.org/ in 75+ different browsers.
    Just for fun, I checked out Adobe's, Apple's, Maximum PC's and Tom's Hardware Guide's homepages using W3C's Validation Services.  All of these sites had between 80 and 339 errors per page tested.

  • W3C markup validation error.

    I've been trying to determine the W3C markup validation error on http://www.kitsapwebdesign.net/business-growth/web-design/index.html  The error says "non SGML character number 0 ".  Apparently it's some kind of character error, but the error is not visible in the code. Does anyone have any ideas you could suggest to fix it?

    Before posting here, I deleted the line 47 on other pages (with the same errors) of the website and it has no effect. Also I may point out any time I save one of the webpages (with or without changing any coding) and re-upload them the errors are gone. But has a warning "Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File".
    Your link (of my webpage) passed the validation, but i don't see what you did in the coding to eliminate the errors... it looks identical to the original.
    Can you tell me exactly what you did so I can duplicate it so I can fix the other pages on the website?

  • W3c markup validator?

    I submitted a new site that I created (my first) to the w3c validator and got 3 warnings and 1 error:
    No Character Encoding Found!            Falling back to           UTF-8.
    Unable to Determine Parse Mode!
    No Character encoding declared at document level
    Line 1,         Column 1:     end of document in prolog
    The site is www.telluridegravityworks.com.
    The source code view shows:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/gravity-works-template01.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    i see charset=utf-8 referenced. Why do I get the validation warning?
    The parse model warning seems to be saying that no doc type is declared. I see the doc type in the first line of the code  view...?
    No character encoding at document level. Is it good practice to declare this twice?  Would i just repeat the same tag as above inside of the body tag?
    The error about prolog says: >>This error may appear when the validator receives an empty document. Please make sure that the document you are uploading is not empty, and report any discrepancy.<< I don't get this. Should I be concerned or take some action regarding this?
    I just typed in the site address like the link above. Should I run each individual page trhough the validator?
    Thanks for any help. This is my first site and I want to be sure I haven't made any errors.

    Before someone better comes along to answer this I would try including a language declaration like this:
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

    I see you've produced valid XHTML (why XHTML?). You'll also
    want to use
    their CSS validator at
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    Change:
    font: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    to:
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    Change:
    ssssbackground-color: #333;
    to:
    background-color: #333;
    I don't know what to make of the errors in ul.MenuBarVertical
    iframe in
    SpryMenuBarVertical.css. They seem to be an IE hack without
    actually
    targeting IE in the CSS. You might be able to ignore them.

  • Routing of emails with valid Service Ticket Tracking Text

    Hi Experts,
    System: SAP CRM 2007 (ERMS)
    If an email is send to the ERMS system with a valid Service Ticket Tracking Text, based on the rule:
    If
    Service Ticket Responsible Is Not Equal To ""
    Then
    Route to Service Ticket Responsible ( Route To (On Exception) = "" )
    The email can be routed to the Service Ticket Responsible of the Service Ticket or a default org.
    My requirement is to route the email with a valid Service ticket tracking text to the Responsible Org (Service Employee Group) of the Service Ticket.
    How can this be made possible. Can any one guide me with the Steps.
    Regards,
    Namita
    Edited by: Namita Singh on Jul 10, 2009 8:42 AM

    Hi Namita,
    I was trying to simulate your condition and i thought the following could be useful to you.
    You validate your tickets based on "Text" for them to be put into the ERMS --(Is it true?)
    and then you want the service ticket responsible org to be intimated about the ticket
    while selecting the action/parameters --> You will need to add the entry Route E-mail , this will give you the organization unit object .
    At the back end in the service manger profile the service id for this is -->AH_ROUTE and the class is CL_CRM_ERMS_AH_ROUTE
    There should be an enhancement written in this class for the identification of the Responsible org unit partner function org so that it gets identified as the org to be intimated about the ticket.
    The other way is to add the service FG_SVCTKT to your service manger profile(guess it should be the default one) so that then you can check for the Actions/parameters to assign the partner function holding the responsible org data.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
    Raj

  • Onload error in markup validator

    Hi,
    Not very good with code.
    I have this on load error in markup validator http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.denotestationery.com%2Fdenote_localroot %2Fgallery.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
    In reference to this webpage. It's coming from the Nav bar.
    http://www.denotestationery.com/denote_localroot/gallery.html
    My question is.... If I delete onload="" code, will it cause me any problems? (I have actually tried this on one of the nav bar images and checked on the browser, and it seems to be ok, although I have not uploaded this recent change to the remote server)

    My question is.... If I delete onload="" code, will it cause me any problems? (I have actually tried this on one of the nav bar images and checked on the browser, and it seems to be ok, although I have not uploaded this recent change to the remote server)
    I removed the onload event from each of those navbar items (they all have one - not just the one picked up by the validator) and the validator didn't throw an error...  actually not even sure why the onload event is writen there as it is actually empty'...
    If you remove the onload event, just test in all browsers and if it works, leave it out.
    The option to try is to create the navbar on a new blank page and see if it write the code exactly the same - in case there was an error the first time it was done.
    Just some suggested troubleshooting ideas - I never use that method to create a navbar and don't have time to even test creating one  :-)

  • License Validation Service

    Hi,
    I am trying to run the License Validation Service Report Viewer but encountered this error
    'HTTP request error' after clicking on Query.
    Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

    Belita,
    You would want to check that there is nothing else (no other service or application) that is using port 30005. You can also verify that this is the port that LVS "thinks" that it should be using by checking the ..\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One LVS\LV Service\SAP.LVService.exe.Config file.  You can open this in Notepad and verify that port 30005 is in this file. Prior to the port in the LVS Report viewer, you can try the server name or the IP address of the server.
    If you are still having issues, you may want to un-install and then re-install the Adobe AIR Viewer.
    Also, just to verify, if you look at the LVS Db via the SQL Management Studio, do you see data in the tables such as CumLicenseInfo, DayFormUsageList, etc.  If you do ... then data is being collected.

  • W3C CSS validator says it can't find my spry folder

    I'm trying to put the finishing touches on my first site, but when I sent it through the W3C CSS validator it failed.  The error message is:
    File not found: http://www.smallfarming101.com/../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css: Bad Request File not found:
    The Spry Assets folder is there in the public_html folder and just to be sure, I deleted the existing folder and ftp'd an updated one.  Why is the validator not happY?  Thanks.
    http://www.smallfarming101.com

    Hi,
    the only thing I can imagine why W3 reports an error is this: ".. /" in your  http://www.smallfarming101.com/../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. Presumably, it is not necessary. This depends how deep your spry files are nested.

  • W3C URL validation

    I have an XHTML (Transitional) page that includes absolute

    &, that the W3C won't validate unless I change the characters

    doesn't work.
    Is there a way to validate ColdFusion URLs in W3C's

  • W3c css validation for accordion

    hi all;
    it seems that the accordion widget cannot pass w3c css
    validation due to some unknown css properties such as
    moz-user-select, moz-user-select & possibly others.
    I really care about passing the validation(my site contains a
    link to the validator) and was wondering if there is a way to
    replace them with a valid alternative (my preferred solution) or
    maybe i can drop them if i can manually (only of the widget is not
    affected by this).
    any response would be great.

    Hello Guys,
    The Accordion has 2 Mozilla specific instructions into its
    CSS:
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    for the panel tab (SpryAccordion.css, .AccordionPanelTab,
    line 54)
    They are not allowing the Panel Tabs text or div selection
    when the rest of the text and other in page objects may be
    selected.
    Indeed this behavior is not w3c standard but you may drop it
    if you want. In this situation the Accordion will behave exactly as
    it does on IE and when you select the text in the page you will be
    able also to select the title for the panel.
    Regards,
    Cristian MARIN
