Hey,

I am just looking into getting into coding,

I already design, and I feel that learning to code would save me from hiring freelancers.

I have sliced the new splash page for Five Interactive, and tried to code it. I then checked it with W3's validator, and it doesn't validate.

I would appreciate it if you could help me to get the page to validate, and let me know what was wrong and how I can overcome this in the future.

The page that I would like to get to validate is:

Five Interactive Splash (http://www.fiveinteractive.com/beta)

Your help would be kindly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Five Interactive

validator (http://validator.w3.org/)

that will tell you what your errors are and how to fix them.

Sephira,

I stated in my post that I have put the design through the validator.

However, It is telling me that I need things that I already have.

Thats why I posted this thread, in order to receive help on how to fix and to learn from my mistakes.

Regards

for some reason, it is just hanging on your embeded swf.
i dont know about swf files, so i am unsure if that is the correct way to display it or not or if it needs a different tag or whatever.

try changing it a bit so javascript is used to write the tag instead of an actual HTML tag like so for the first one...

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<embed src="splashimg.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="105" height="101">');
</script>

maybe this (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/) will help you. it's an article on using Flash and getting it to validate.
