Invalid HTML

  • Hello,

    I recently integrated a WordPress Blog into my website so it flows seamlessly (My Blog). I took the classic theme and manipulated it until it looked the way i wanted it to. When I go to validate the website I get a lot of unexpected errors, all not related to what I changed. I did not change any of the php markup, I reinstalled the new 3.2.1 WordPress, and changed the html5 tags back to divs, but still I am having no luck with validating my blog. A lot of the invalid HTML seem to be HTML attributes that are generated by the php functions at run time. I just want to know if it is something that I may have changed? Should I be using another template to create my own theme?

    Thanks,
    Sam Sinno

  • The HTML 5 DOCTYPE has not yet been formalised. Both it and any associated validators should be considered experimental.

    So your saying that I should not be concerned if the blog does not generate valid HTML? I understand that the HTML5 validator is experimental, but I thought the previous versions were accurate (I am using XHTML for the blog). I use this site to validate my websites: https://validator.w3.org.

    Does anyone else have trouble generating valid HTML on their blogs?

    Should I be concerned about the errors considering how search engine spiders may react to the site?

    I actually got it to pass, there were some odd errors generating that I did not understand until I worked with it a bit. I passed it as XHTML Strict.
