elementalgrace Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Has anyone else found that even though you have no errors it still tells you that your code won't validate? I have a warning for a label (apparently the validator doesn't like my label name, heaven forbid)but no errors in my code and still the dratted thing won't validate ...This seems crazy to me ...

aspnetguy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 can you show use the message you get when it won't validate?Can you post the code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Err Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I know the validator won't fully validate your document unless you have the content-type meta tag on it... that could be your problem, but I'm not sure unless you copy/paste the warning you are getting here. <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> That would be the right content-type unless you are making a page using a different character set (e.g. Japanese, Chinese).
