More times than not it is your content that is invalid... not the theme. Granted not all theme developers concern themselves with compliance, but most do.

Did you know that is not valid.... talk about harsh...

my default module is mastop publish, can this be the reason for errors

edited

i have set default module as none. Rechecked with the validator, it still says 14 errors, these are:

Validation Output: 14 Errors

1. Error Line 46, Column 48: document type does not allow element "style" here.

Well, the default theme may be valid w3c, but there are some system templates that do not validate. A patch is provided here - SF patch 1712443

The templates had not changed in the 2.3.x branch and these do work with 2.0.17.

There is also some html generated in the code that has not been moved to templates, yet, and needs to be validated, too.

Especially that you have 2.0.17 as theme was revised again :).
might be the module ..I'm not familiar with it so i can't say anything..however i can say that is like Biteronboard said and with the modules if not worse...there aren't any w3c compliant modules...yet

the patch is for XOOPS 2.3.0

anything available for 2.0.17 or even 2.0.16.
and also shouldn,t these templates been modified in the 2.0.17 release.

This does apply for 2.0.16/2.0.17

The 2.0.17 release focused on other things - not the templates. phppp has posted he will work on this next week.

To get around the module templates problems, you can rewrite them and override them so they do validate. I would suggest you submit any changes you make to the modules' authors, though, so they can add them to their next release.
