<div> tags question – validation question

you really need to provide a link to the site so we can see the code and see what the validtor says about the page.

Hi curis,

Seems to me (I’m no expert) that a lot of these errors are due to advertising, adsense, amazon widgets, and maybe everything I’ve copied+pasted in the AdSense Manager plugin… ?

Here’s a link to my latest post:

Also, here is a list of my plugins and how they’re used:

1) AdSense Manager – for adsense ads
2) Super-Cache – Super Cache enabled

Thanks for the help

The new Adsense code will validate, but Amazon code will not. Addon code is a major source of validation errors. WordPress uses xhtml, so make sure that you get the xhtml version of the code (if available) instead of the html 4 version. As for validation errors, be sure to fix any unclosed div tags as these can really cause problems.

Hey iridiax,

Thanks for your input. Everything seems to run fine and I haven’t noticed any errors in Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE7 or IE8.

As for the unclosed div tags — would I fix those in individual posts and/or widgets (incl. adsense manager (where I copy+past the google code))?

Thanks!

I validated the page you listed, and I didn’t see any unclosed div tags. I did see a lot of Amazon validation errors, but frankly I wouldn’t bother trying to fix these. They don’t seem to cause much trouble.

To locate the errors in your code, select the Show Source option in the validator and then click Revalidate. Now, you can click on the line numbers of the errors and it will take you to that spot in your code.
