Module 3: Validating my web page

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

I tried to validate my webCT student page (found in the student presentations area) using the W3C Markup Validation Service.

I first encounted 7 errors, these were easily identified and fixed by closing some tags, and making sure everthing was nested properly.

The next 2 errors I encounted were solved by removing the /> from the end of my declarations in the head of my page, and replacing them with just >

The final problem I am left with is as follows;


Namespace Found in non-XML Document
Namespace ""
found,
but document type is not XML!

Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8
File.
The Unicode
Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files
is known to cause problems for some
text editors and older browsers. You may
want to consider avoiding its use until
it is better supported.

I got this page to validate earlier (before I added meta-tags) so I'm guessing the remaining errors are due to me incorrectly declaring something in my meta tags.
