Guess I need a replacement validator addon for Firefox now.. cheers. |

Get the Web Developer Toolbar extension, and W3C validation is two clicks - or one key-combo - away. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul |

My own errors are many, but simple. For example here: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ladycroft..._contents.html ( was more interested in the JavaScript at time of writing it) What about those textareas? the validator wants rows and columns but I have pixels .. which make more sense to me, it works, is invalid and I need to think about fonts, ems in order to change it ? |

For example here: > http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ladycroft..._contents.html Hah! As I suspected, your <br>s are within the <body>. That's an error (for each one) in Strict. You don't need them anyway; add some bottom-margin to the preceding <div>s. > ( was more interested in the JavaScript at time of writing it) > > What about those textareas? the validator wants rows and columns but > I have pixels .. which make more sense to me, it works, is invalid > and I need to think about fonts, ems in order to change it ? 'Tis because width and height are not valid attributes for <textarea>. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp You need the rows and columns. Oh, and I'm quite happy with my default font and size for textareas. You don't really need to specify those, either. <g> (I don't do JavaScript, so no comments on any of that.) -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul |
