Page Validation

validation

[Eriklange7]

I know you are supposed to use the w3c Markup Validator....I think I have major problems with my page....but I am not sure what the problem is and what I really need to fix.....can someone help me? perhaps someone can run my site through the validator and help me interpret the results. You can find my site if you type <edited - no specifics please> into google. Please help! Thanks!

P.s. the site is indexed correctly by the Search engines!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Eriklange7!

We do not like "please look at my site" type of postings, as we prefer to discuss issues rather than specifics. So you will have to see which of the error messages you have most difficulty interpreting and ask about what they mean.

Browsers and search engines realize that there is a lot of invalid HTML out there on the web, and so they tend to be very forgiving. If your pages render the way you want them in the most common browsers, and if the search engines index them correctly, I would say that you do not have "serious problems".

What tool do you use to build your pages? Some of the commonly used tools produce "interesting" HTML :)

I used Dreamweaver....it seems to display just fine...sorry about the post....

Tell what the errors are and someone can give a hint as to what the problem is.

I use FrontPage XP and Dreamweaver MX to edit my pages.

FrontPage XP is easy to learn to use, but you need to write more codes.

Dreamweaver MX is powerfull.

Both DW & FP can write sloppy code. Both are much better that they once were... BUT! The truth is, when you rely on an WYSIWYG editor to "manage" your code, these sorts of things happen.

Eriklange7, you have numerous "unescaped" enetities. Ampersands need to be encoded as &amp; That will correct most of your errors. Start with that.
