hey well basically i am left with this error could some one help me thanks.



Site URL : http://forgottencoders.co.uk

and

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3...ator%2F1.3

thanks

It is the portal announcement. It seems that you have a <p> tag for your message block. Try making that a <div> with a class and the page should validate.

i shall check that out thanks

hmm doing that made it have 48 Errors :O

FIXED! had to put a space between the class="xxxx" and something else lol

thanks leefish more REP

HTML validation is extremely boring, though a great feeling when you get that green VALID message.
Kudos to you for working through it. You will find later customization works more as expected and you have a much higher chance of cross browser compatibility with a validated site.

thanks however i have another issue



thats the forum index not the portal btw

http://forgottencoders.co.uk/forum.php

That was the link your HTML Validator link took me to.

hmm

wait what?

ok firstly it was forgottencoders.co.uk which is the portal
now it is forgottencoders.co.uk/forum.php which is the forum

I fixed the portal error's just this one left. well and maybe showthread etc but that can wait.

What I did - to make it easier to check - I put a link to the validator in the footer and then click on that to check my validation. You of course need to be viewing a page which is viewable to guests.

If you have errors on Showthread, Forumdisplay, Index or Portal then you should fix those asap as they are the primary pages. I don't agree that Showthread can wait.

yes i meant it can wait until i fixed the current errors on other pages . just added the footer link, Still can't fix this 1 error on the /forum.php page .

Any way just checked showthread and forumdisplay with and without a parameter and are 100% valid already

just this 1 pesky error to fix ;'(

It is just what it is saying - you are not closing that div inside the table:

<table style="margin-top: -6px;" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div>  <!--THIS--!>
<div class="forumoutline">
<br class="clear"/>

You need to close that div before the end of the td you have it in.
