Making the xHtml Cut
By Serge Norguard. Filed in Personal |serge isn’t exactly a geek, but there are times when he geeks out and this is the time that he is geeking out. as of now his site has 12 errors, it was 10 before this…but now its 12. Something went transitionally wrong, he says.
below is what is wrong.
Keynote since there are some full html tags, serge has changed the angle brackets (< & >) to { and } .
Error Line 664 column 125: there is no attribute “autocomplete”.
…et” action=”/index.php” autocomplete=”off”}
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the “Strict” document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the “Transitional” document type to get the “target” attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as “marginheight” (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
Error Line 665 column 22: value of attribute “type” cannot be “search”; must be one of “text”, “password”, “checkbox”, “radio”, “submit”, “reset”, “file”, “hidden”, “image”, “button”.
{ input type=”search” id=”livesearch” name=”s” value=”search blog archives” on
The value of the attribute is defined to be one of a list of possible values but in the document it contained something that is not allowed for that type of attribute. For instance, the “selected” attribute must be either minimized as “selected” or spelled out in full as “selected=”selected””; a value like “selected=”true”” is not allowed.
Error Line 697 column 24: document type does not allow element “div” here; assuming missing “li” start-tag.
{div id=”chatoutput”/}
Error Line 750 column 4: end tag for “li” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/}” instead of “}”.

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you’ve placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you’ve forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as “{p/}” or “{table}”) inside an inline element (such as “{a}”, “{span}”, or “{font}”).

It would help readability if you changed the background-color of the code, changed it to a monospaced font (like Courier New), and added some margin. It’ll be easier for us to help then.

what else besides courier new is considered monospaced fonts ?
