W3.org reported 240 errors on my site
Lucky Xoops.org has only 11 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.xoops.org

This is something module-developers should think of :)

chances are its your theme, if you set your theme to default i bet that number reduces radically. So theme developers should consider this.

WC3 will nail you on all kinds of stuff. I find its always my sloppy code that I put into custom blocks. This produces many errors this one is my most famous... & <--- Will get you every time... lol

so I'm ain't the only one who hate W3C for reporting "&" as an error.

But if you use &*amp; you will get rid of the problem

(remove the star "*", it's only there so it wont show up like a "&" in the message.)

tried it and now it's reporting 237, it's reduced by three.

Edit WOW! sorry for blaming all our terrific developers, 227 of the errors was caused by a custom block I made!

Fixed 137 of them and now I "only" have 90 errors, which all is:
an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.
gotta quote all attributes with ->""<-

Re: What a mess..

I alway display the W3C code in a custom block on my websites. When ever I do anything to any of my sites I click the code to check for errors.

Like I said it's always sloppy code in a custom block!

I get 5 Error-messages with 7dana Xred theme that I dunno how to solve.

The errors at W3.org says:
ID "headmenu" already defined.
An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

Here is the HTML:
<tr
    <
td colspan="2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
     <
tr align="center"
        <
td width="288" bgcolor="#770000">td>
        <
td id="headmenu"><class="menuHead" 
        
href="<{$xoops_url}>/index.php">HOMEa>td>
                  
        <
td width="1" bgcolor="#d7d7d7">td>
        <
td id="headmenu2"><class="menuHead2" 
    
href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/">NEWSa>td>

        <
td width="1" bgcolor="#d7d7d7">td>
        <
td id="headmenu"><class="menuHead" 
        
href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/">FORUMa>td>

        <
td width="1" bgcolor="#d7d7d7">td>
        <
td id="headmenu"><class="menuHead" 
        
href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/tutorials/">TUTORIALSa>td>

        <
td width="1" bgcolor="#d7d7d7">td>
        <
td id="headmenu"><class="menuHead" 
        
href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/mydownloads/">DOWNLOADSa>td>

        <
td width="1" bgcolor="#d7d7d7">td>
        <
td id="headmenu"><class="menuHead" 
        
href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/contact/">CONTACTa>td>
tr>
table>td>


and headmenu-declaration in the CSS-file is:
td#headmenu a
{
    
background-color#770000;
    
color#FFFFFF;
    
font-size10px;
    
displayblock;
    
padding8px;
}
td#headmenu a:hover
{
    
background-color#AB1410;
    
color#FFFFFF;
}
td#headmenu a.menuHead
{
    
font-size10px;
}


Thanks in andvance

Never tested but try following:

In html code replace id="headmenu" with class="headmenu".
In the CSS file replace td#headmenu with td.headmenu.

Thanks, but it didn't work.
It made me validate, but the pagelook changed to =p (backgroundcolor for the top-menu disappeared)
