Error in footer code

Hi,

Im getting this one error when trying to validate strict:

Element type "a" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

I dont understand what ive done wrong heres my footer code:

Code:

---

<div id="footer"> Copyright &copy; 2006 TR. All Rights Reserved. UK Design | Validation -  <a title="Valid XHTML" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//www.mysite.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">XHTML</a> | <a title="Valid CSS" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.mysite.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">CSS</a> | <a title="Web Content Accessibility" href="http://www.contentquality.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe?rptmode=2&amp;url1=http%3A//mysite.com" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">WAI</a> |&nbsp;<a title="Section 508" href="http://www.contentquality.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe?rptmode=-1&amp;url1=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com"onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">508</a>

If anyone can tell me how to sort this out that would be great!

Thanks

Hello

Are you sure that is where the error is coming from, as there are none in that snippet. Or at least I do not see any.

You probably forgot to close the <div> container. Also, you have a list of links in there. Marking them up as such would be more semantic. Here's an example (be sure to style as needed if you use it):

HTML Code:

---

<div id="footer">
        <p>Copyright &copy; 2006 TR. All Rights Reserved. UK Design</p>
        <h4>Validation</h4> <!-- or whatever header level is appropriate given your site's structure -->
        <ul>
                <li><a title="Valid XHTML" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//www.mysite.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">XHTML</a></li>
                <li><a title="Valid CSS" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.mysite.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">CSS</a></li>
                <li><a title="Web Content Accessibility" href="http://www.contentquality.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe?rptmode=2&amp;url1=http%3A//mysite.com" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">WAI</a></li>
                <li><a title="Section 508" href="http://www.contentquality.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe?rptmode=-1&amp;url1=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com"onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">508</a></li>
        </ul>
</div>

Ah i think you may be right, i will go through code again.

Thanks

What validator are you using?

In any case, for XHTML there should be whitespace between the attributes in the last <a> element:

Code:

---

...%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com"onclick="window.open...
-----------------------^ missing whitespace

Huh, didn't notice that. Then again, I only really looked at it for about 10 seconds.
