or source code is there..

trq · November 26, 2010

You really need to do some html basics tutorials or something. You have code outside of your <body> tags that belongs within it. Namely...

<div class='navbar'><ul>
<li><a href='/index.php'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href='/login.php'>Log in</a></li>
<li><a href='/register.php'>Register</a></li>
<li><a href='/games.php'>Games</a></li>
</ul></div>

Which is within your <head> tags for some reason.

Pikachu2000 · November 26, 2010

You have <div> and <li> tags in the <head> section of the markup. Why?

When you run the validator and it returns errors, if you scroll down to just above where the list of errors starts, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy". If you check that and click resubmit, it will return a cleaned up version of the html (usually) so you can get a better idea of what it should look like.

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

well initially they were in body but thorpe confused me with this "<link> elements belong within the <head> and <li> must be within a <ul>, <ol> or <li>." I merely misunderstood what he was trying to tell me.

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

ok now its saying value of attribute "ALIGN" cannot be "TOPGAMES"; must be one of "LEFT", "CENTER", "RIGHT", "JUSTIFY"

I dont have <div align="topgames"> anywhere ?

the code before

<div id="gameshide">

I dont know about you but i cant see it anywhere im MY codes. -.- source code is lying lol

Pikachu2000 · November 26, 2010

Something in one of your scripts has to be putting it in the html. Text doesn't just appear for no reason. Are you using linux/unix/bsd/mac or WinD'ohs?

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

win7 ?

Pikachu2000 · November 26, 2010

I don't know the command in Win, but there has to be a search function you can use to find all files that contain that text. Perhaps in the search box try content:'<div align="topgames">'

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

lol ok... this is odd..

"No records found."

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

do you think it could be an error within the validator itself?

Pikachu2000 · November 26, 2010

Then that must not be the right way to search for it. I haven't used a Win system in about 10 years, so I don't know what the correct way to search for text in a file is on windows anymore.

Of course, this all assumes you have identical copies of the same files on your computer . . .

Minimeallolla · November 26, 2010

yes and theres a shortcut -cntrl F for find. and there is a search option in the ftp that searches all files and folders and it detected nothing as "<div align="topgames">"

haku · November 26, 2010

Just search for 'topgames'. You are more likely to find what you are looking for.

Minimeallolla · November 27, 2010

its completely not there, it must be the validator that is playing up \=

trq · November 27, 2010

its completely not there, it must be the validator that is playing up \=

I highly doubt that.

Pikachu2000 · November 27, 2010

Oh, it's there for certain. I can see it in the markup when I go to the page and do a 'view source' in my browser. The validator isn't going to arbitrarily insert things into the markup just to frustrate and annoy you.

Minimeallolla · November 27, 2010

well ive shown you the code and its not in the code? and theres nothing inserting it? so i have nooo ideaa whats going onlol \=
