Cronthenoob Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I tried validating one of my pages and this came uphttp://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...x.htm;ss=1;sp=1what does that mean? And how do i make it Valid?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It means the validation succeeded experimentally. This is because the character encoding was missing, the validator guessed what it should have been. Put in a character encoding, and it would pass validation :)Just like in a meta tag:<meta name="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. I'm falling back to the "UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents. Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers on how to fix this problem with your document.There's a link on the page to the FAQ referenced.

aleksanteri Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yes, simply it means that the character encoding was not found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
