Validating Page.

[afe]

Hello, can anyone validate this page for me please? The link is http://www.athletes4excellence.com/indexxxxxx.php




Thank you.

Why would you post this?

[afe]

Thanks, however, I have tried it many times, and it does not seem to work for me, or I don't understand how it works. I also wanted this to be sort of like "site reviews", like they have it on codingforums.com

if you check the "show HTML tidy" it will show the "improved" version of your page (most likely on the bottom)

You put your address in the box and click validate. I did nothing special.

And when it says there are errors, yes, there are errors, and no you didn't enter it incorrectly.

139 errors... ^_^


And you should ask for a review if you want one, but I'd recommend removing the majority of the errors first.

First step: switch to HTML 4.01 Strict. Second step: fix the errors.

[djr33]

Oddly enough, that puts it down to 40 errors, most of which are very easy to fix.

Take a look at this. Oh, and read it at least 50 times before replying "How does this work?"

[Twey]

Don't use that (except perhaps as a checklist for manually validating your page, or a tool for checking it automatically). You want valid HTML, not invalid HTML hackishly (and slowly, too -- remember all those regexes are happening on every page view, and regexes are terribly expensive) rendered into valid HTML. Either way, HTML Tidy will do the job better.

HTML Tidy can't validate dynamically created pages though. Perhaps make it validate, then store a cached version of it.
