My revised web page

I've made many of my pages valid but my main page and a few others are
still not. There is an image source error though I don't know how to
correct it and there are several no script and other errors at the
bottom of the page. I'm not sure these can be corrected as they have to
do with a counter in one case and an email form in another and the html
for each came from my server.

If I can fix it, fine, otherwise I'll have to accept the errors I
suppose.

Thanks,

Ed

Thank you.

In many cases, the problems are in the coding which is not of my making.
For example, the Japanese Elgar link is really their link and I don't
think it can be changed and still work. Similarly the doteasy comments
code which the server warns against changing and I think I need to
correspond with them about that. Chances are these are insoluble unless
I relegate these links to other pages which I think would deflect the
"sins" from my main page.

On the other hand, I think, the problems on another page are easier to
solve:

http://www.egoldmidincd.com/buddhas.html

It did once seem to validate, even with a different code, but no longer.

Thanks for the Online web check link. I can't really download the .exe
files as I'm running a Mac.

Hi Ed,

You should be able to fix the code they give you, unless they have some
automated bot that looks to see that you've got the exact code they gave
you. It's a bit "disgusting" that places give you bad HTML and tell you not
to change it. If they are going to distribute bits of HTML, why can't they
at least fix that? I would definitely say something to them about it.

On the other hand, I think, the problems on another page are easier to

On line 14 you have a "mess" (missing quote and '>'):
<embed src="buddhas.mp3" height="120 width="160"</embed>

No problem!

I think the doteasy form will work all right with the revised code
though I haven't yet put that on and haven't been in contact with them
yet. But I was able to go from my desktop file and send myself a test
message with the form and it was received in Thunderbird.

The Japanese link won't quite get me to the right page when I add the
amp; so that remains a problem. I think I will put that link on another
page.

This remains a "mess" and the validator now has 9 errors. Maybe I've
misunderstood what you were saying.

Thanks again Albert,

Ed

That's strange... what is the orginal link and what did you change it to?

The current line appears to be this (which still needs fixing):
<embed src="buddhas.mp3" height="120" width="160"</src>

Also, there are still quite a few issues with that page... like the "html"
tag on line 10 which should be under the DOCTYPE line. Also the end tag for
"html" on line 12.

Albert,

I fixed that link although it doesn't yet validate completely. It's here:

http://egoldmidincd.com/elgar.html

validator finds as follows: Line 35 column 219: end tag for element "A"
which is not open.

...._dis=2&amp;wb_co=excitejapan">page</a> on the Japanese Elgar site

http://onlinewebcheck.com/?url=www.e...m/buddhas.html

On line 14 you have a "mess" (missing quote and '>'):
embed src="buddhas.mp3" height="120 width="160"</embed

The current line appears to be this (which still needs fixing):
embed src="buddhas.mp3" height="120" width="160"</src

I've gotten this page down to 3 errors all of which are on this line. It
seems that I and a lot of others don't understand what the correct form
should be and it's still not clear to me. Apparently the closing </src>
is not wanted but it still doesn't completely solve the problem.

Thanks,

Ed

That link is missing a beginning quotation mark for the "href" attribute,
and confusing the validator.

Try something like this:

I hope this helps.

Ed, don't listen to that guy, he really just wants to sell you his "CSE
validator" tool, which isn't a real validator. onlinewebcheck missed
several bona fide errors on your home page that could easily be the
cause of trouble in some browsers. Plus it reported many false errors on
the buddhas page, and completely missed the double "src=src=" on the
embed element.

The W3C validator has had a lot of improvements, including more
intuitive messages and better help. But if you are still uncomfortable
with it, a much better alternative than onlinewebcheck is
URL:http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/

The W3C validator doesn't exactly catch everything either. For many examples
of what it misses, try this:
http://www.htmlvalidator.com/htmlval...eisbetter.html

Furthermore, if other errors that onlinewebcheck.com found were fixed, other
issues would appear. Previous errors may cause other issues to be missed,
depending on the effect of the error. The same is true of other checkers as
well.

Also, onlinewebcheck.com is based more on what works in the real world than
strictly enforcing the standard. What web browser do you know that uses a
real SGML parser? If there was one, no one would use it since it wouldn't
display over 90% of web pages due to "errors". Does one write HTML for
people to actually see in a real-world browser or are you just writing it to
conform to the standards?

Onlinewebcheck.com is also a free service, that can be used in place of or
in addition to the W3C validator, depending on what a person wants. It finds
many issues, but not everything. I know of no checker that finds every
possible HTML problem. If someone wants better checking, including
integrated CSS, link, and accessibility checking, then we offer a product
that provides it. Just because we sell a product doesn't make us evil. Our
users appreciate us and we appreciate them.

The W3C validator is certainly useful, but so is onlinewebcheck.com and
especially our professional products that go far beyond what
onlinewebcheck.com can find (for those who want that level of checking).

Yes, this was one of my attempts to fix that link. The structural syntax
feature of the html editor and the W3C doesn't seem to like anything and
the autoplay link seems to be especially bothersome. (Haven't had a
chance to try Albert's last suggestion yet.)

The W3C validator has had a lot of improvements, including more
intuitive messages and better help. But if you are still uncomfortable
with it, a much better alternative than onlinewebcheck is
URL:http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/

If you're going to validate, use a real validator, not a linter wannabe
like CSE.

As I mentioned before, Albert's software seems to be for Windows only so
I can't use it anyway.

I only recently changed servers (but kept the same domain name.) and I
have a lot more bandwidth to play with but that means more pages and
more chances to go wrong with the html.

Thanks,

Ed
