Dumb Question
I know this is a silly question, but I am going through the HTML Validation process and I am not understanding how to read the errors/warnings. I am using Dreamweaver to edit the code and I am getting this error for example: Line 378, Column 14: end tag for "td" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified. Now my code has some other tpl files that it is calling in but the actual page only has 200 lines of code. So where is the validation process picking up errors on Line 378, and where the heck is this Column 14??

What is the saying? No dumb questions just dumb answers.
 This is because the validator is reading the source as it is sent. So that line would be seen when viewing the page in the browser and viewing source. Then finding this line.

Should have mentioned this to you earlier on your PM. You may find this tool useful
The W3C Markup Validation Service You can get it to display the source that is being rendered so you can identify errors more easily anda bunch of other options. |

I am one step ahead of you guys. IE has a Developer Toolbar that gives you tons of options. One of them is to send HTML to The W3C Markup Validation Service. However, this is why I am asking the question. I don't understand where it is getting these errors. Here is the results: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.industrialpost.com/index.php - W3C Markup Validator
Like I said the layout_index.tpl is only 200 lines long. And it is pulling in other .tpl files, but it doesn't tell you what files has the errors. And again what does Column mean?

You cant find out what .tpl it comes from so i use the search program. Column is the charactors along. ie if there was an error at the end of <head> it would say column 6 Nick

Do the job systematically. Start with the home page and make it blank calling just the layout with nothing in home.tpl. Then you can eradicate errors in your layout that will appear everywhere. Then for each other page you know what template file it is because your layout.tpl will already be validated. Occasionaly you may get an interaction but it is rare.

It appears you've made some progress on the original request. There's only one error listed on the validation site:
