W3C Errors Help

[brain1606]

Was asked to Validate a website and I was able to clean up 1500 errors but now im down to my last 18. This is my first time working with this theme and I am having problems with the last couple of errors.

W3C CSS on the main domain
Bad request
File not found:http://mydomain.com?ver=4.0.0&suffusion-css=css

I disabled the auto generate CSS thinking that it would solve this problem and it did not do anything. When I click on the link it comes up with file name mydomain_com .


W3C on the main domain
Getting missing/open tags like div, ul or li within the sidebar-tab and widget area on the right of the main content. I cant find the right file to edit.

A url will help here. (Forum rule #6)

You probably won't get rid of all the errors.

It is unlikely that you have mark up errors in the sidebars and certainly not in Sayontan's files. The errors will be in your content either in the main text itself or in text widgets etc in your sidebar. Don't forget that errors are often reported as being in code AFTER the actual error.

fixed all of the errors but the link to the css file it generates

<link rel='stylesheet' id='suffusion-generated-css' href='http://mydomain.com?ver=4.0.0&#038;suffusion-css=css' type='text/css' media='all' />

Working on another website with the same theme and I am getting the same error. How can I just disable the auto generate css option? The link given by w3c works because it opens the file in dreamweaver but the site said it has a bad request. Is this due to the way the link is generated. If I tell it to print the css within the code the error goes away but it then finds more errors withing that new code.

I would have told you how if I could understand what the error is. Which validator site are you checking and how are you checking it? I don't know if you are aware, but one of the things you should do while checking is to run it against local HTML (meaning, you need to run it after all the JS has executed on the page). If you have the WebDeveloper extension for Firefox, that gives you the option to validate local HTML.

I use the auto-generated CSS link on quite a few sites and it has never reported a validation error on that count.
