Use a validator that allows you to see the errors, then fix them accordingly.

I've not done it yet myself, but will.

Thanks

daredashi:

As long as the IDs are numeric on the links page etc. you're not going to see valid XHTML. Bummer, but there it is....

Otherwise, I've got all pages validating (IF you ignore the numeric link IDs....) excepting the submit page, which does have some fairly wonky problems with the sessionID stuff etc. I'm not at all sure what can be done about that, but I am looking into it. [BTW, most of the errors are most likely cascading due to the problem with unencoded ampersands already noted in various threads herein.... no solution from the programmers as yet, AFAIK....]

very true vkaryl. i have seen PHP session ID passed to index file and alomost wasted my 3 days to find out from where its comming from. ( i am not programmer nor designer)

can you help me out regarding numeric IDs in link? i think we have to wait for programmers regarding session problem

daredashi, I can send you the xhtml/css template I have that, with a few more changes from vkaryl (that I have yet to make) gets you to validation on almost all pages, with the exceptions noted above caused by unencoded characters and number IDs on the links, which the programmers have to fix since I can't.

Drop me a pm if you want it. I do warn you it isn't one I've readied for general release since it's a rather complicated three column layout with the directory being two columns within the center column to confuse issues further. It's the webgeek directory I link to here. I will in the next couple weeks have one ready for general release that is a very much simplified version, but right now I've only got three hands and work enough for four, so you folks are going to either be patient or try messing around with the three column version (and probably pull a few hairs out in the process- I write complicated layered layouts that suffer from div-itis and backgroundmania)

Heh, moi aussi, m'friend!

However, daredashi, I do have a 2column template that's not quite as tricky as BJ's - you can mail me and give me an addy to send to.... email in sig....
