W3 Validator: Brackets create Errors

[chrisslemke]

Hi all,

 

what a great forum you've created. I keep reading and eventually I need your help. I'm running that site and the W3 Validator spits out some errors related to the brackets. As you see, I'm using a wordpress theme and I don't even see those brackets in my code. Now I'm wondering if you have any solutions to that which you can offer.

 

Thanks and regards

I'm not seeing the error you mentioned. What type of bracket < > ( ) [ ] { } is causing the problem and what does the error message say?

I see them very clearly, if you look at the line numbers and then look in the code, although the error is not the bracker. For example, from that link, the first of those errors is on line 459.

 

 

Line 459, Column 170: The value of attribute style on element article from namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml is not in Unicode Normalization Form C.…ngallgu-iib.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Canyoning-Allgäu-Gunzesried-.jpg')">

 

 

Viewing source, i see what the validator reports from that line.

<article data-background-cover="1" style="background-image: url('http://xn--canyoningallgu-iib.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Canyoning-Allgäu-Gunzesried-.jpg')">

It seems that the issue is with the special character in the image path.

well you can fix the error on line 519<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c8c8c8;"><br />

by making it look like: <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c8c8c8;"></p><br />

And the error on line 35 <!- -message - -> put one space between the two dashes and that error goes away.
