Cool, I validated my website, now I'm happy! :guitar:

Cool
This might sound stupid, but what is it?

cool, i dont mean to burst your bubble or anything but, when i visit your page (IE) the second red corner thing is over lapping the text i dont know if you ment to do that or not.. but i thought id let you know all the same. congrats!

yeah i know that, its to do with my css... but at least the corner is transparent...

is it valid by w3.org's web standards.

for me, yes. my page is valid HTML 4.01 Transitional.

*groans*

not another w3c thread -_-


Just because your site is valid doesn't mean it's has all te elements of an exelllent website...

That's why I love www.csszengarden.com <3

Mine's probably not :lol:

I like csszengarden.com, it is rather interesting. I have tried making a skin / template for it, but failed on the graphics side.

I've never checked, though i assume it isn't for many reasons (including coloured scrollbars :P)

i have valid css and xhtml 1.0 transitional

the validator at http://validator.w3.org/ only checks your index page. Some people don't know that. If you want to check all your pages at once, use this one: http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ and check "Validate Entire Site."

validator.w3.org checks which ever page you want not just the index page

validator.w3.org checks which ever page you want not just the index page

Yes, I realize that. However, i was saying that some people think that since they type in their URL, and it's valid, that their site is valid. In reality, when you type in your URL, it only checks the index page. And why would you want to manually check each page at http://validator.w3.org/ when you can go to http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ and check a box and it does it for you.

No it isn't because I don't have one! ;)

comparing your webpage coding against a standard set of coding rules set by the W3C organization.

Yes, coloured scrollbars don't help.

I've checked a few times, and my issue will always be colored scrollbars, which I refuse to give up, lol. Oh, and my other issue is that I don't have that "DOCTYPE Declaration". *shrugs* I've checked my sites in other browsers a while ago, and the only big difference was the lack of colored scrollbars and in FF, one of my iframes was a few px over from where it sould have been (but it probably only looked that way because of the scrollbars not being the color I intended).

As long as a site has content I want to view, a layout that doesn't conflict with the content (ie, I can read it), and I don't get a virus everytime I go to the url, I could care less if it's valid right down to the T.

Yes, coloured scrollbars don't help.

They help make a page look more "prettyful" :lol: The scrollbars on Starlet's page are a nice touch, and I'm sure the plain ones throw the whole layout off.

Well, a popup script that I have in my code for my blog gives it trouble everytime I think about checking it, and I am just too lazy to take it out lol.

Every other professional site I do though I validate to the farthest I can, css included...

My site, isnt valid because i use <noindex> tags because of my search bar, because i dont want it indexing the menus...

i want my site to be valid but i just cant b botehred anymore. it looks ok the way it is at the moment. when i get my own domain i will probably validate it!

i don't care. what's the point? what is the real standard actually? who sets it?

i dont really care either. i just make sites for fun, so as long as they work and look ok in differnt browsers, who cares.

just an fyi ~
you can still have a valid page with color scrollbars, just a bit of javascript required. i posted it a couple times in the css area, so if you like, just to a quick search there and it should appear up.

I don't really care, but I don't have a site anyways :p But if I do I might just do it for the...cheese of it :P

the cheddar is mine *attacks*

no you don't, I need it for my..........health! and sentence! *grabs*

...alrighty then=P

yeah, my site is anything but valid. but i have a button on my site that explains why; it says 'incorrect coding is more fun'.

I don't know...

i dont think too many people worry about it. Even the big sites (ex neopets, msn, google, yahoo etc) aren't even 100% valid. The only one that was that i saw was w3.org.

No, I have 2 errors.

2 errors ain't bad..

I've got 77 errors acording to http://validator.w3.org/, but I could not really care about it.

well, i only had 7 when i first validated mine, some were pretty basic, but now i've got one! one single error caused by my counter! :rant:

Just checked mine for the 1st time ever....164 errors :lol:
I'm gonna check my other site now...27 errors. Fun.

fun... i fixed the one error! yay!

i had 35 and still do, they are all because im dodgy with spaces.. i put them in when i shouldnt so what?

woo hoo no errors in my whole site except the phpBB, all valid xhtml 1.0 transitional :D:D

all valid xhtml 1.0 transitional :D:D

Same here.

nope it isn't, but i really can't care about it

it looks good in most browsers, so that's it :)

Love,

I like this guy's opinion about Web standards:

Check out # 3

Well, last time I checked I had valid CSS and valid XHTML Strict 1.0.
