Validating problems

[freddy]

Hello,

I'm new here but I need a little guidance. I have incorporated the accordian menu and image fader into this site:

http://www.bridestowe-primary.devon.sch.uk/2009/

All works briliantly - thanks to the excellent contributors - the only trouble is the multiple errors I'm getting on validation that I don't know how to fix. I have a suspicion it might be a DOCTYPE issue but I'm not that clued up yet. Can anyone help please?

Thanks very much

The simplest solution is to make your scripts external. Save the JavaScript code into a JavaScript file (filename.js) and link to it like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="filename.js">

/***********************************************
* Accordion Content script- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* Visit http://www.dynamicDrive.com for hundreds of DHTML scripts
* This notice must stay intact for legal use
***********************************************/

</script>

Note that the credit notice must still be retained within the <script> tags, in the page's visible source.

Good luck!

That may be the simplest, but if a Dynamic Drive script is involved (as appears to be here), it's against DD's usage terms:

See especially #4.

This is the second time I've seen you give this type of advice where a DD script was involved Snookerman. In the future, please advise folks in these cases to include the script credit in the external script tag, and give an example, like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="ufade.js">
      
/***********************************************

* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for this script and 100s more.

Thank you both, I'll give this a try and will abide by the rules, credit where it's due and many many thanks for your help, will post when resolved or otherwise.

Cheers

You're right John, I forgot about that, thanks!
