I don't think it's so bad. It serves its purpose well enough. Just get it all validated and keep the loading times low.

Probably gonna take me all of tomorrow to get validated...although I'm still not sure the doctype on my site is correct, but I'll run it through dreamweaver and see if that program can help me fix some fuck ups.

Well I didn't think you were writing XHTML. If you are then the doctype I suggested is wrong and you want XHTML transitional.

Done.

Jesus christ it looks even worse :icon19:

Here's what you'll need to do: trace all of the lines as vectors and use the vector image instead.

also, always use double quotes. class='navframe' aint valid either
According to the validater it is. I'm used to using single quotes because I always use PHP to generate the HTML.

oh wait the page changed to html 4 insteadl of xhtml. k carry on :icon30:

That's why I had the fox grey, cause it matched everything else. heh, get it? Grey-Fox....bah nvm.

Ok, what the hell? I posted on a webmaster forum about the troubles I'm having with doctype and encoding, got this response after the Admin herself checked over my site and the W3C link with my source code on it:

Maybe it's just me, but I, personally, would not stress too much about it. I didn't go through it line by line, but it seemed to me that the "errors" are just minor things that really don't seem to make much difference since the site itself seems to be displaying just fine (unless there's something in your pages that isn't working the way you want it to).

I wouldn't really worry about it unless it's a project for a class or something like that and you need perfection for a grade, or if there's something that's not working right for you.

learn to do it right, it will pay off in the end

Post by **Uaintseenme** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:32 pm

I know it'd be a good thing for me to do, but everything I do to try and correct the errors just leads me around in circles. I fix one thing, it causes another problem. Plus, the things this thing wants me to edit will actually fuck up my tables and links and text and so on.

Post by **Grudge** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:33 pm

that's what's called "learning"

all signs point to "poor coding", captain!

be sure to have the correct doctype though or itll give you errors that arent there.

to make it easier on yourself, go with xhtml

msn meh if you want me to help you go about it sir. im bored as it is

Post by **Uaintseenme** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:38 pm

I wish there were a way I could click a button and have all my html converted to xhtml, would solve alot of problems.

Post by **MKJ** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:39 pm

its easy to convert html4 to xhtml1 trans. quite easy, actually.

Post by **Uaintseenme** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:46 pm

and how would I do that? re-write the whole document?

heh, I learned basic html and picked up a few things on the way. I don't know much about xhtml, except the fact that <br> needs to be <br /> instead.

Post by **MKJ** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:48 pm

its basically the same, its just much more strict. gone are the days of people not closing tags or using nonexistant attribs.

you can remove a lot of errors by selfclosing tags in your original html file. hurray

Maybe I'll work on the design for a bit, all this code is starting to etch itself onto my retnas.
