daneault23 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I used a html checker thing to check my site and it said it had about 160 errors. I don't know what to do, or how to change them because I pretty much know nothing about html. My site is at http://www.ilovemoneymorethanyou.com if anyone wants to check it out. Thanks! Quote

Learn an alternative later.</p> <p> </p> <p>A lot of codes are in the format </p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.3in 0in 0pt; line-height: 180%;">?</p> <p> </p> <p>using MsoNormal and then pt for text size. Have you used Microsoft Word and then "saved as" HTML? This creates all sorts of old-fashioned code that doesn't validate. You really need to start again in Notepad or another text editor or Dreamweaver and not use Word or Excel.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>cannot generate system identifier for general entity "address".</em></p> <p><em>?imarks.org/bookmarks.php/?action=add&address=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilovemoneymoret</em></p> <p> </p> <p>This means that & is not validating; you need to use the character code for it which is & see </p> <p><a href="http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/HTMLchrc.html" rel="external nofollow">http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/HTMLchrc.html</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em>end tag for "input" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.</em></p> <p><input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden"></p> <p> </p> <p>If you use XHTML doctypes this must be closed as /> not just ></p> <p> </p> <p>I'm not going to offer any more comments; you really need to learn to code in a text editor or use a program like Dreamweaver or spend a lot of time editing what you have now.
