W3 errors and validation

Posted on 16/08/2010 16:54:50

Hello,

When we validate our xhtml in W3, the validator mentions that the tags META and other topline code is not valid.

Is there a way to make the code in the system conclude the tags, so this doesnt happens?

Also BASE tag is not xhtml concluded, and also a stylesheet link from the system is not concluded.

Hi there,

You can set the HTML type under Modules | Frontpage. Then click layout on the web site / language layer that has appeared and set HTML Type to XHTML.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,

thanks for the reply,

yes this is already set to XHTML.

is there another place where this can be set?

It's a "per language area" setting; are you sure you set it on each site?

Do you have a live URL of the site that has the problem?

yes we are pretty sure.. I might have to double check. but we have checked it just a second ago.

I can see that we are missing a Character encoding declared at document level. I have just been taking a look at another dynamic web solution, and that one didnt have the problem.
I'll see if it's an error we have made.

thanks for the input.
