Hi,
I almost completed HTML 4.01 validation for my site but i still have a problem with sommaire parametrable 2.11
they have this tag

Code:

where height is not allowed....
any idea how to get rid of that?

I know that this is going to sound funny, but just make it <tr> and see if it renders properly. If it does, then it was never needed in the first place.

If this does not work, post about 10 lines of HTML before and 10 lines after that code so I can see what is around it.

I figured it out, but 4.01 validation does make any sense when you have 2 <head> tags when displaying forums?
Making only the mainpage 4.01 compilant, is just a waste of time, IMHO.

Guido,

Unfortunately, others have spent hundreds of hours fixing PHP-Nuke to be 4.01 compliant (64bitguy for one). Unfortunately, he never released it to the public. PHP-Nuke code itself is not compliant, so what can you do? Until someone actually releases a fixed nuke to be compliant, it'll never be.

Montego,
you are right, the problem comes from the beginning, so there isn't much I can do about.
I was just playing locally with my website b4 it goes live with all the new features i'm working on, so I was trying to get the most out of it.
I started with 197 errors and plenty warnings, now i'm down to 9!
It's frustrating that some of errors are pretty stupid, and only denotes low attention on coding, not only from FB, but also from theme or addons makers.
At least, it doesn't cost money LOL.. just a lot of weekends on the computer and a pissed girlfriend Smack

Agreed! I was in that boat not too long ago and still have a bit of clean-up to do on my module (the newsletter templates). But, at least my module pages and module admin pages are now 100% Strict W3C compliant! I learned a lot by doing that.

Hey, at least you have a girlfriend! I'm married, so having girlfriends are very frowned upon... killing me
