bronzemonkey Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Every doctype is going to show you errors in the validator because your markup is full of errors. You should use one of the html 4.01 doctypes and read this - http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Doctype. Then go through each error that the validator highlights and correct them one by one. Read some html and css tutorials if you don't know what you are doing - http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should strive to work with xhtml 1.0 strict, but since you have so many errors, then I'm not suprised you can't get any to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You shoudl strive to work with xhtml 1.1 (IMO of course - and NO I shall NOT be using html5 when it gets here cos it sounds like its going to be arse). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain the difference between 1.1 and 1.0 html strict. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry the article didn't help. I know the difference between 4.01 html and xhtml 1.0 strict. I want to know the difference between xthml 1.0 and xhtml 1.1 as you mentioned before.
