AXiSS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 To much scrolling text. Images on the far right should all be the same size or something, same theme, same concept and match the site. Footer is oversize with those "related sites" and then the text-nav.

obsidian Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 You've [b]got[/b] to do something to validate your code and your content. When I run just your homepage through the W3C validator, I get [b]212 markup errors[/b]! That's incredibly high. Then, I ran the homepage through http://www.totalvalidator.com, and I came up with more:[quote]Total errors found: 304 (Parsing: 116, HTML: 84, Accessibility: 56, Broken Links: 48)[/quote]Keep in mind that this is only from your homepage, too. In addition, I agree 100% with the comment about [i]too much scrolling text[/i]. When there is too much activity on the page like that, it's more distracting than helpful.

Now, you've got to keep in mind that it is the line number in the HTML that they are giving you, so you'll have to track it down in your source. Here are a few places to check out your code:[url=http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keralajobs.com%2F]W3C HTML Validator[/url][url=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keralajobs.com%2F&warning=1&profile=css21&usermedium=all]W3C CSS Validator[/url][url=http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Validator]Total Validator[/url]The last one above, you'll have to enter your URL into the field, but it will actually give your entire markup code and highlight the problems it finds.

redbullmarky Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 it's not gonna cause any serious issues, but valid code ensures that there's a higher likelihood that it'll work across a larger collection of browsers, and that people who use alternative means to look at the web (speech, text only, etc) can get full use out of it.so yes, & is the proper HTML way to output an ampersand.Also - you may see 200 errors, but 9 times out of 10, I find that many errors are knock-on effects of others, so don't necessarily assume that getting your code validated is such a tall order.cheers Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35201-pleaze-check-this-out/#findComment-168848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardyandkari Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 i dont understand what all of the fuss is about validating... just downloaded the firefox extension and used it on yahoo mail and about a billion errors came up. i take this to mean that even though a "standard" would be nice, it is by no means necessary or even really the norm. basically, the only reason that i can see (pretty underknowledged in this area though) to validate the page is so that you can put a little mark at the bottom of the page so that anyone who doesnt know what it means sees it they say, "wow, this page hase beed validated by w3c! they must be good! lets do business with them!"

Ninjakreborn Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 * It helps search engine ranks* it's the new standard* It's a great movement from all developers to get better standards for newer browsers* It's a lot easier to mantain when validatedJust a few reasonsgoogle"Why validate XHTML"and "why validate CSS"I think that should rest the case quite well.

redbullmarky Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 ardyandkari, validation is not just about pretence of goodness - or at least it shouldnt be. it means that your site is a) more likely to work across multiple browsers and b) more likely to cater for the disabled who may not use what you consider a regular browser to view/listen to a site.of course - there are tonnes of sites that DONT validate, even some of the top ranked ones - but keep your eyes and ears on the news about companies and sites being on the recieving end of lawsuits due to not making their sites accessible. as your site is a job portal, you're probably MORE in the firing line and under closer scrutiny than others - as not providing a valid site could almost be defined as discrimination, depending on the laws of your country.also - the fact that (at least on your homepage) there are more IT categories than any other, meaning you're offering more to the IT profession. The IT profession are exactly the people that WILL notice how good/rubbish/valid/invalid your code is.

Philip Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't like how the homepage is one set width, and the rest go to 100% width. I think it should stay at the set width.
