bill110 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I went to http://validator.w3.org/ to validate my code and find any errors and was able to get my page down to 3 errors (2 hidden form check fields, 1 said the FORM element was not allowed) but it also says the page is not valid html 4.01 Transitional. IE, Opera, Firefox all read it ok so i'm not too worried but why would it say this? I changed the DOCTYPE to read: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> as suggested on the site but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Bill: What is your URL and I'll check it in BBEdit. I did not validate mine yet either. Since you are down to 3, I can learn something and be able to help.

I've only done the default index page. Started with 27 errors!

There's a contribution that goes over how to get it error free. I've never tried it myself since it doesn't gain anything, but you might find it useful. I don't recall the name though. Maybe searching the contributions for validate will turn it up.

bill110 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Checked that one out and one of the mods is already implemented in my version of oscommerce. The other didnt cause errors. The only thing I gained was some cross browser differences in page layout were corrected.
