XML errors for w3 >_<

[Lakitu]

Trying to validate markcomedia.couk (cant post full URL because under 10 posts) and it's giving my a couple of errors I don't understand, for one, it says there is an error on like 73 > 58 with UL tags not matching, are they not? and I dont understand how to solve the XML errors. Anyone are to enlighten me?

The validator's error messages are fairly self-explanatory.

required attribute "alt" not specified

The alt attribute is required for the img element type. It should provide the text equivalent of the image. Omitting it is an error.

n attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified

In this case there seems to be two errors with the same attribute (border=0).
First of all there's no space between the preceding attribute value and the attribute name (border). An attribute name must always be preceded by white space.
Secondly, all attribute values in X(HT)ML must be enclosed in quotation marks.
Insert a space before the attribute name and change it to border="0" (or better yet, use CSS to control presentation instead of deprecated presentational attributes).

document type does not allow element "a" here

Here you have a number of anchor elements missing the </a> end tags. That means you're trying to nest one link inside another, which is not allowed.

end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

This error is a consequence of the previous one.

XML Parsing Error: attributes construct error

Again, you've omitted the required white space before an attribute name.

The remaining error messages are the result of your invalid markup confusing the validator's parser.

That error means that the <ul> isn't closed properly. You probably have a child within the <ul> that isn't closed.

Edit:

Tommy putu more effort into it. Shoulda refreshed

Cheers I'll take a double look =) down to 36 now ;D

You are getting close to validating.

Near the bottom of your code you have:

target="_blank"><img class="statcounter"
src="http://c.statcounter.com/4841596/0/362077fe/1/"
alt="blogspot visitor" ></a></div></noscript>

The last part visitor" /></a>

Closing that img tag may fix it.

@Lakitu
What Doctype are you using?

[AutisticCuckoo]

@Lakitu
What Doctype are you using?

XHTML 1.0 Transitional
(But served as text/html, of course, so not really XHTML at all.)

@AutisticCuckoo
XHTML Transitional served as text/html is really agitating to see

XHTML Transitional served as text/html is really agitating to see

I've never understood the point of XHTML Transitional. Is there any browser that supports XHTML but not CSS?

And XHTML as text/html is of course silly, but I'm so used to that now I can hardly be bothered to sigh.
