Need Validation Help

**Launchnet** · 06-05-2006, 08:39 PM

Hi everybody. Well, I’m looking for help again. I have 9 validation errors that are in both Javascript and HTML

I tried to copy the code to this page, but it's too long, so you will have to open my site: www.openoursite.com The menu on the left and the frames page both validate. The page on the right side of the screen, approximately 80% of the screen is my problem page.

So, I need help on the page named “mainmenubody.htm”….The Javascript was sent to me by a friend that I can’t get hold of for some reason. The Javascript runs the slide show properly. Everything on the page works correctly, but I would like the page validated.

When the site is opened, you will see the buttons under the picture. These start and stop the slide show. The first and second picture of the Beautiful Red 1961 Chrysler 300 (restored to original shape) is mine.

I am posting this help request both in HTML and Javascript since their are problems in both areas. Hope this is OK.

Please help if you can.

Thanks Matt Gentry Sr (74 young)

This line needs a space:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML4.01 Transitional//EN">

I put it between the 4.01 and the Transitional.

Before you revalidate, check this and see what errors you still get.

Having said that, I see a few pretty obvious ones.

Change this line:

Code:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

to

Code:

<html>

You'll need a text editor (e.g. Notepad).

That should solve a few of your errors by itself.

As far as the rest of them go, the best thing you can do is to go through them one by one on this page. Fix one, and then fix the next one in order and so on and so on...don't try to do them all at once.

I know that's not much of an answer, but there are a few too many errors there right now to go through them all.

The one thing I can tell you is that, for many of your tags (<font> and <b> for example), you're not closing them with </b> or </font> . That's why your page is entirely bold, among other reasons.
