HTML Validation questions
Hello everyone,
Im new to the forum and look forward to being a long lasting member. I am trying to validate my website, the page i am doing at the moment is http://www.swiftmediauk.co.uk/portfolio.php.
If you go to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swiftmediauk.co.uk%2Fportfolio.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline you will see that there are only 2 errors to correct, however i havent got a clue how to resolve these 2 errors. is anybody able to offer any advice PLEASE?
Thanks Sooo much.
Kind Regards,
Andy MacDonald

This project included the design of stationery, advertising media & 2 vehicle designs. At the heart of this was the logo design which combined a disc-like shape & a professional feel.
the error is bold, it should be a
Thats a error, but it doesn't match up to the validators numbers, the above error is on line 672. I can't find the error around line 588-600.
Fix the above bit and revalidate, see if we can narrow it down some more.

There were 6 errors when I checked it.
You have a lot of errors on this page
805
806
807
808
should be:
805
806
807
808
on line 893 remove the tag (a few lines after the "Like what you see?" link)
and put it between the a few lines down (line 895)
and then it should validate.
You should really try cut out a lot of those tables, while there are many it's not to badly nested but you can do the same things with less code (and tidier) using tables better. If you have a text editor that can do a search and replace, replace all border="0" with border="1" and you'll see how you can cut a lot out.
Let us know if this validates or not

Hi Busy,
thanks for the advice. last night i decided to redesign a "template page" which was all in valid html, then basically remake each of my pages using that template, so far it seems to be working, each page is now validating as i work through them. thanks for your time and advice, and if i get any more problems, i will definately be back.
cheers
