Hi guys
Ive been using the w3c html validator for the page attached. ive never used it before (shame)!
I was planning to use it for each page before classing the project as finalised. the site works on firefox, safari, and ie 6 7 and 8.
I pasted my code in, checked the 'clean up with html tidy' option, and clicked 'check'.
Out came a massive list of errors and one warning. A couple errors were apparent and stupid of me (i included an alt attribute twice for 2 img elements) but most i did not understand, nor did they - when looking - seem wrong or invalid.
The code it gave me after the list of errors contained little bits saying CDATA or similar.. which didnt seem to do anything but make the code look weird..
I wondered:
1) Is validating through this html validator completely necessary?
2) i dont even understand let alone know what some of these errors were pointing out - they did not look like errors when meticulously going back over the code.. are these vital or needed to be changed?
3) the code at the end of the validators page after its list of errors - is this a fixed version without the errors? i couldnt see any different..
thanks for the help people. i have attached a html file incase you wanted to run it thru the validator yourself and see what i mean!
