Validation I don't understand!

[JP Maher]

Hi,

I have the following error message in validation process:

(The tag: "img" has an XML style closing syntax for an empty element even though version: "HTML4" is not an XML tag language.[HTML 4.0])

The HTML coding Line is: <p><img src="../Photos/Écurie te chevaux face est.jpg" width="260" height="175" /></p>

I don't get it!

Help please

It's because in HTML 4.0 you don't want image tags to be self-closing so you should remove the "/" at the end of the image tag.

Thanks a lot! I'll go on with that!

When you have an image try not to have spaces in between as they will create some code like 20%. Try to name it with dashes or underscore.

E,g, ecurie-te-chevaux-facest.jpg

It's better to use dash - as underscore _ is more related to database programming.

I don't understand! why can't just name the image: ecurietechevauxfacest.jpg

You can. Using hyphens is an effort toward keeping the space's readability.

Ack! infinique, why respond to a dead thread?

cheers,
