Way confused..

Mind typing what you need help with and putting all your code in the "[code]" bbcode.

If it's highlighting " then it's either because you've got an invalid character (ie one copied from Word) or because you're missing a closing " on a previous attribute.

ok: as i said, i'm trying to validate a XHTML 1.0 Transitional page and when i go to w3c validator, i get this message:

Error Line 26, column 331: character " " not allowed in attribute specification list .
...arlo, como é hábito. Este <a class="texto" href="http://www.

here's my line 26:

HTML Code:

<p><span class="horas">16:34</span> a inteligência artificial (IA) é usada pelo <em>Snowie</em>, um software que joga melhor gamão que ninguém. Este programa vai analizar, em directo, as meias finais e a final do campeonato do mundo de gamão, a ser jogado entre 10 e 16 de julho em Monte Carlo, como é hábito. Este <a class="texto" href="http://www.blabla.com/">site</a> vai transmitir esses jogos on-line.

hope its ok now

Got me stumped. I just copied your HTML, saved it and validated my local copy and it came out fine. :?

**rfl** · Jun 15, 2006 16:30

html is generated from php script, but anyway could you try validating it, to check what i complainted above?

I did. I saw the errors on your site and couldn't see what was wrong so I recreated your page locally and it validated fine. Like I said, I don't know the answer to this problem.

thanks a lot, anyway!

You have non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) in your tags. (When you copy non-breaking spaces they are converted to regular spaces, I think.)

<a·class="texto"(A0)·href="http://www.truemoneygames.com/">

great! really great - that's true
i removed spaces and added them manually, and now page validates
i wrote some javascript to insert links when i post, hence the non-breaking spaces:

HTML Code:

function link() {
document.getElementById("texto").innerHTML = document.getElementById("texto").innerHTML + '&lt;a class="texto"&nbsp; href=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;';
}

thanks a lot!
