XHTML Help Please

Techkid2k5 · 05-22-2005, 06:59 PM

I'm in the process of converting my new website from html to xhtml.
I don't know too much of xhtml, but I've eliminated most errors in Frontpage 2003.
I have 9 errors left, which I cannot figure out. Maybe someone can help me?

Here's my validator check:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...m%2Fabout.html

It looks like crap under Firefox (css, etc. unsupported), so be sure to use IE6 instead.

Also, is it possible to add the css colored scrollbar script in my exsisting css script? I tried and it didn't work, using Style Master.

I'm still a little new to this stuff so please explain throughly what I need to change to make my site 100% xhtml validated.

Thank you!!

First off, if it looks like crap under firefox, you are doing something wrong. CSS is FULLY supported.

You need to go through your HTML code and remove the things listed by the W3C validator.

I recommend searching google for Xhtml converters, or going through and learning the valid structure yourself. If you learn it manually, things will go much smoother in the future when you have problems.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I also tried searching for XHTML converter programs, but all of them I tried either cannot convert 100% of the code because of trial software, not what I was looking for, or don't convert the code successfully. Even Frontpage 2003 didn't work.

Are there any free, specific converters you know of that will convert it 100%, even automatically for me? I tried Htmltidy, Frontpage, and RTF to XHTML Converter by Sautin Soft.

Thank you!!
