Validator Errors and the Fix

Hello
I need to understand the mistakes, apply the corrections.
I want to offer a basic page ( http://www.meherbabalibrary.com/babalist/list_g/list_g.html) and ask for assistance. It is without CSS, with Divs - a basic unpopulated page with navigation bar.
I ran this page through www.validator.w3g.com and validator found 18 errors.
To have explained a few mistakes that will give me an understanding. I need to understand the dynamics that are involved in correcting the mistakes so that I can apply the corrections on this page and other pages that have been created.
For example I have a series of errors on line 111:
<body leftmargin="5" topmargin="5" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('../../buttons/bhr.gif','../../buttons/kkr.gif','../../buttons /dvdr.gif','../../buttons/cjr.gif','../../buttons/avr.gif','../../buttons/bsr.gif','../.. /images/shack/0_Shack_MBBks.jpg')">
<div id="pageContainer">
I see the validator has highlighted in red most of the quotes - and if I remove all quotes in red and then view the page in web browser most of line 111 is transformed into text. That experiment did not work.
However if I run validator as Group Error Message by Type those reds quote show "there is no attribute X". I don’t understand this.
On line 115 is another series of errors and again the ' " ' symbols are highlighted in red.
<a href="../../index.htm" target="_top" onClick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','bhb','',1)" onMouseOver="MM_nbGroup('over','bhb','../../buttons/bhr.gif','',1)" onMouseOut="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="../../buttons/bhb.gif" alt="" name="bhb" width="120" height="41" border="0" onload=""></a>Th
I Googled the errors. I am unable to understand the errors and the appropriate method to fix the errors.
there is no attribute "onClick"
there is no attribute "onMouseOver"
there is no attribute "onMouseOut"
there is no attribute "onload"
end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
Thanks for indulging this long query. To wrap up I see in a few lines the "You may have neglected to close an element" supported with 'end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified'.
Again I ran validator as ‘Group Error Message by Type’ the end tag for X omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified". I hope this question isn’t too long as I really need to learn how to apply fix it routines after running the validator.
Thanks

You could eliminate many of your errors and code bloat if switched from image based menus to CSS styled text links.
Below is a quick example (no images required). Copy & paste this code into a new, blank page.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.

Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

LOV selection fails when there are validation errors on the base page

Hi
I have lovs and some other required fields on a page . If there are any validation error on one of those text fields and if I open the LOV (not related to the text fields) and tries to select
an item from the LOV search results, it doesn't do it until unless I go back to the base page and correct all the validation errors on the text fields eventhough those text fields have nothing to do with the LOV.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Anwar

I am on Anwar's team, and I've been dealing with the same problem, although on a different page.
The JSPX for a contrived example is below. I can provide backing bean code, if needed.
The form contains two LOVs. Both fields are required. If you leave both fields blank and click Continue, you get a red box around both fields and error messages are displayed. If you then click the magnifying glass to select from the first LOV, the LOV pop-up is rendered. However, you cannot make a selection, either by double-clicking a line item or by clicking OK (the OK button has no effect). All you can do is cancel.
Interestingly, the act of clicking the magnifying glass on the first LOV gets rid of the red box around that field. So, once you cancel out, the second LOV actually does work. If there were more than two fields on the page, that wouldn't happen. The problem seems to be that the LOV doesn't work unless there are no validation errors on the page other than for the LOV which is being invoked.
As you can see, immediate="true" is set on both LOVs. The behavior is the same whether this is true or not.
I'm left thinking there must be something obvious that we're missing... but none of us can see it.
Thanks,
KEN

Hi there,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
Please let us know how it goes.

You should be able to download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes.
If it doesn't show there then was the purchase successful e.g does it show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If not then it might just be a holding charge, and not a 'proper' purchase charge.
If it does show on your purchase history, but not in Purchased for redownloading, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Sorry should have said, when I log in my emails pop up momentarily. Then, it seems as if the pages aren't loading. A message comes up on the bottom left that the pages are loading, then errors occur and nothing happens.

HELP! problem after update OS & email accounts msg 'there was an unexpected error and the operation was cancelled'

Hello I hope someone can help as i am very upset my BB10 is not functioning.
I have had this handset 3 months & love it!
I updated the OS and now on 10.1.0.4181... I had to do a memory swipe as handset working fine until update then it would not make or receive calls hence the swipe also cleaned up emails etc.
Now when I come to add the email accounts which it allows but no emails are received.. I keep getting this
message 'there was an unexpected error and the operation was cancelled.'
I used to have 2 x virgin media email addresses, 1 x hotmail.co.uk & 1 x [email protected] email address linked to Z10
handset and worked perfect..
What has happened to my phone.. I so need it to operate as before as I use it for work (self employed)
On the settings the virgin emails will sometimes say not connected.
I can use the internet & apps ok & text.. but I love the hub and that is not working like it did...
Can someone please help & advise before I send it to a watery grave...Thanks

Thanks for the reply
Can I get you to manually add the live.co.uk email account by changing the incoming mail server to one of these servers: blu-m.hotmail.com, dub-m.hotmail.com, stn-m.hotmail.com, bay-m.hotmail.com, col-m.hotmail.com or snt-m.hotmail.com.
Then try to add it, let me know if the issue persists.
Cheers.
