xhtml error

mulligan · #1 09-04-2005, 11:31 AM

I am trying to make my pages xhtml strict and have narrowed it down to one error which I can't seem to fix.

Error Line 6 column 66: character data is not allowed here.
...lesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/style.css" />

Here is my Line 6 etc...

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/engine.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/bgfull.css" />

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Only error i can find is that you have 2 <link rel and no title but that shoulden make that error in w3 valid.

maybe you have an error another place, most likely.

else try this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/engine.css" title="engine" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/bgfull.css" title="bgfull" />

I thought of that also, but I still get errors...

Error Line 6 column 80: character data is not allowed here.
...="../css/engine.css" title="engine" />
You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes).

You must have an error between

<!DOCTYPE "bla bla">
<html>
<head>
<title>
<meta>
<link rel your stylesheet
</head>

Double Check that part again ^^

<body>

or try remove the red part

../ css/engine.css

Does it give you an error if you use the orig doctype tags ?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" >
<head>
<title>Logidev Networks™</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/engine.css" title="engine" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/bgfull.css" title="bgfull" />

The document located at <http://www.logidev.net/home/compliance.aspx> was checked and found to be tentatively valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. This means that with the use of some fallback or override mechanism, we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML or XML Parser. In other words, the document would validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict if you changed the markup to match the changes we have performed automatically, but it will not be valid until you make these changes.

All fixed...

Just needed to add the correct character encoding.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Thanks for your help!
