Eric Barnes is just really nice Eric Barnes is just really nice

Any elements that do not have matching closing items need an ending slash. IE:
<br />
<img />
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

H1 elements need to be the tag then the text:
<h1>Title</h1>

If you want to center it use css.

Hi,

I found again errors i cannot solve myself:


Quote:
Line 213, Column > 80: XML Parsing Error: attributes construct error

�entie/186/Saab_93__93_Cabrio_Bj_2002_20T_17_Aero__Weinig_kms .html" title="Saa�
And a couple errors like this:

Quote:
# Info Line 30: start tag was here

><meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">

And this, but i think this is really weird because the links are created by the 68c. so it has to be correct right?
Quote:
Error Line 213, Column 174: "Weinig" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute

� -Bj. 2002 -2.0T- 17" Aero - Weinig km's :186">
P.s. Its a title

Hoping people can help me out here,
Because i am trying to improve my Page rank but its a long way......

Correcting this will do almost nothing for your SEO but it will improve the likelihood of less display problems on different browsers.

Again. What did Eric say about elements that need to be closed? It looks like it is this but the validator should be telling you.

CSS validation is important but you don't have to get rid obsessively with every little warning and if you deploy 3rd party code for things like chat modules and mobile phone payment gateways , etc then I doubt it ever will validate 100%. Just get the major errors.
