Validator CSS W3C show little error

[Paulo]

I have cheked my site and vbadvanced with Validator CSS W3C (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) and i see this problem:

Target: http://www.vbadvanced.com/
Please, validate your XML document first!

Line 161

Column 67

Element type "table" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".


It's just a little error in one template but where ?
Thank you

[Paulo]

When i active smilies in module news, i have same error for validation W3C XHTML 1.0 http://validator.w3.org/:


Line 519, column 100: "..." is not a member of a group specified for any attribute

...es/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt=""...<span class="smallfont">[<a href="h

✉

Line 519, column 103: unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES

...smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt=""...<span class="smallfont">[<a href="http

✉

Line 519, column 103: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

...smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt=""...<span class="smallfont">[<a href="http

You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

✉

Line 519, column 16: start tag was here

Bye <img src="http://www.xxx.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.

That's because some of your characters are being cut off by the news max characters limit.

[Paulo]

Exact ! Sorry.

there remains the small error for validation CSS

[Brian]

Does it give the same error when you validate your vB pages? The CSS is controlled by your vB CSS file, so there shouldn't be any way it would be different on the CMPS.

I noted this:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/?styleid=1 : it's ok ( style VB original )

There are many errors when I try to validate my cmps page because the cut off of the news also cuts html tags!! Any ideas? :(

[Brian]

Unfortunatly that is one limitation of the news module since it's not exactly easy to make sure that all of the HTML is valid without adding too much strain on the server.

[e-steki]

So the only way to make it valid is to disable bbcode in the news?

[Brian]

That would be one option... Or set the max characters option to a number high enough to include any ending bb code tags, or make sure to use bb code tags only in the beginning of posts.

[e-steki]

You can never make the number that high as there is formatting throughout the article :(

[Brian]

There was a hack posted somewhat recently that will let you specify where you want the read more link to appear in each of your news posts. I'm not sure if that would be a good solution for you, but if you think it might be then check the hacks forum for a thread called "Dynamic Read More Link" (or something like that).

[e-steki]

Seems exactly what I needed!!! Thanks so much!!! :) :) :)
