Validating Code, ..Do you? Options

[Mulder]

o just..

god. aaahhh. then dont validate it. i dont. when i do, i end up screwing up my site, like i just did a minute ago. eh.
first i need to get a working guestbook.

[artislife90]

Oh good gravy...

Go to the w3 site in that code. And read. And keep reading.

hah!

[technicolour]

^ lmao

I can't get my comment stuff to look right at all. It's all the same color and ppl can't see what the heck they're writing.

It's horrible.

[warriors1035]

your site is really good... and i dont get that whole validating thing, cause if your site looks good and works, wats the point?

[technicolour]

....why?


the links the fall out boy pic in my sig
--------------------

It has to be valid in ALL the browsers. Damn people keep coming up with new browsers and everything has to be spick and span for all of them.

[warriors1035]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... now i get it, theres a lot of browsers, but chances are most ppl have firefox, ie, or netscape

[artislife90]

It really is annoying. I usually only make browser check for IE FIRE-FOX CAMINO OPERA & SAFARI

But keeping your code valid is a good way to ensure the best results for the most browsers.

It should be an easy fix. Just look at your style sheet, and look at your comment file.

Find what ID the text box is and change its color to not be the same as the text color.

AND SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST!!!!!

[technicolour]

...I did. I tried fixing it..but nothing happened.

[freeflow]

warrior persona just read w3schools site and just find out about doctypes.

[warriors1035]

er.. i tried, now i just dont care about validating anymore

and are you linking to your stylesheet in your comments template? make sure theres a .whatever the comments think is called because i dont know but i know its not this in there.

hah.

heh.

[technicolour]

^whoa. Thanks a bunch. I will soooo fix that when I get done doing my history..

I'm multi-tasking.


....I dont even think i have that code anywhere.

[freeflow]

^ you might not, becuase i don't even use that because of the fact that i use my own css instead of wp css

[technicolour]

Ha ha yeah, that's prolly it..

I will get on that though..

[Mulder]

i dont like to think about it. i think its easier that way. maybe its just me? i kinda mix them both together, wp css with my own. ha. my css looks so...unorganized because of it.

[technicolour]

^ most coding looks like just a bunch of mumbo jumbo

Mine does..it's so horrible.

[fainaru]

I love validating my CSS, but HTML... haven't really done it before. =X

[freeflow]

Validating html seems so much easier than css to me. I never tried css though because i know it would take me days i bet. hah

[*mipadi*]

Yes, my site validates as XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.

new tests

I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve <http://www.snak3.go.ro/progress-test.html>:

    500 Can't connect to www.snak3.go.ro:80 (connect: Connection refused)

If you made recent changes to your domain name (DNS) configuration, you may also want to check that your domain records are correct, or ask your hosting company to do so.

Since i never let my sources to be showen and i encrypt them, i can't really validate any of them because they dont allow`it :P) because i always disable loading my site from other site frames, so actually that doesnt allow w3 to validate my site or to let the others to check if i do have any errors in my sources, and since i dont care if it is validated or not, i still think not showing the real source to anyone it is more secure for copyright incements and other issues like this.
PS: that site is only a test.

guestbooks are not always the best solution, but a tagboard or chatbox works more nice, take a look here
