hi everybody
Im building my site http://www.pharcyde.dk/pharcyde_css with css and is trying to validate. But i get this message:
Please, validate your XML document first!
Line 50
Column 386
Element type "img" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
Ok cool ithink and i found a line wich ( ithink ) make the problems. The whole code is:
<!-- css start -->

<div id="random_header"></div>
<div id="com_description"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/pharcyde/images/companyprofile.gif" alt="" width="372" height="102" border="0" /></div>
</div>
<div id="lnews_container">
<div id="greyfade_down"></div>
<div id="lnews_background">
<div id="newsgfx"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/pharcyde/images/news.gif" alt="" width="85" height="15" border="0" /></div>
<div id="latestnews_php"><?php mosLoadModules ( 'latestnews' ); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="mid_container">
<div id="ln_spacer"></div>
<div id="maincontent"><?php mosMainBody(); ?></div> <------- here is the problem
<div id="grayfade_up"></div>
<div id="lgreen_spacer"></div>
<div id="dgreen_spacer">

<div id="misc_header"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/pharcyde/images/misc.header.gif" alt="" width="36" height="30" border="0" /></div></div>
<div id="mail_green_bgr">

<div id="freestuff_pic"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/pharcyde/images/freestuff.gif" alt="" width="364" height="119" border="0" /></div></div>
<div id="dg_spacer_last"></div>
<div id="footer">Copyright 2000 - 2005 by Pharcyde. All rights reserved</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- css end -->
If i took this line:
<div id="maincontent"><?php mosMainBody(); ?></div>
and simply deleted it ( or only the php code ) it would validate ??......maybe you can see some more, because i need the php code to be included.
Thanks

validate problem ( im lost )
Firstly the link at the top doesn't work so I can't check for myself. The code you have pasted looks a right mess. also please use the spellcheck button its not that hard

validate problem ( im lost )
I can't diagnose the problem without the whole page, I am aware of the fact that the code you have pasted can be copied into wordpad or any other text editor it is still a jumble.
I also need the whole page so that I can revalidate it to see the problem for myself

validate problem ( im lost )
ok problem seems to be the fact that there is no space before the width in the following code on line 48
<img src="http://pharcyde.dk/pharcyde_css/images/stories/asterisk.png"width="70" height="67" align="left" hspace="6" alt="Another logo" title="Another logo" border="0" />
it should read
<img src="http://pharcyde.dk/pharcyde_css/images/stories/asterisk.png" width="70" height="67" align="left" hspace="6" alt="Another logo" title="Another logo" border="0" />
there might be more problems this is just the first one i found

hi tom
hi Thomas
omg, you know the code you just pasted is actually not from my css, but is from a code that belongs to mambo cms system itself. It turns out ( the error you pointed out ) was from bad code from cms and not me.
It validates now....TY

validate problem ( im lost )
bingster,
Congrats it all appears to validate ok, just two little problems ;
check that you are offering a generic font family last, for all font-family declarations and loose the ;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
line from the beginning of the page , this will be throwing IE into "Quirks Mode" which is not something you want, it's not required anyway.
Hugo.
