[Error] xhtml coding error on my part - please help

**jbartle** · 01-24-2008 09:30 PM

I have an error in my coding, but everything is showing up how I'd like it to. I've tried a few things to get valid xhtml (1.0 transitional) but can't seem to get it to display correctly.

My site:
Call of Duty 4 Glitches, Halo 3 Glitches, and Rainbow Six Glitches

Problem area:

Code:

    <!-- search -->
          <td>
                <form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
                <td class="searchbg" nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> 
                    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
                    <input type="text" class="searchboxbg" name="query" size="33" tabindex="1001" style="margin-right:20px; width:222px" />
               <if condition="$show['member']">
                 <div class="searchtxt" style="margin-left:148px; float:left"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></div> 
               </if>
                 <div class="searchtxt" style="margin-right:20px"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></div></td>
             <td nowrap="nowrap" align="left" width="10%" style="padding-right:10px"> 
                     <input class="searchbutton" value="Search" tabindex="1004" src="http://www.vbseo.com/images/se7ensins/misc/searchbutton.png" type="image" />
                    <div class="searchtxt" style="padding-right:10px"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Advanced Search</a></div></td>
                </form>
        </td>
    <!-- / search -->

Help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

a) you have 2 doctypes.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

you only need one.

you can change that in the acp, all style options... there's a block about 3/4 the way down for the DTD. chances are you pasted twice by accident (because the text box isn't big enough)

B) you have a missing table cell closer somewhere. i'm not hunting it down, your code's a mess and the vbseo strip whitespace isn't helping.

C) onClick needs to be onclick. xhtml is all lowercase.

that should fix 'em

a) What's funny is, I haven't touched anything with that. I can't figure out why it's doing that...so I'm guessing it's a mod.

b) I'll take a look but w3 was saying that the <td> couldn't go where I have it.

c) Thanks. Idk why the C was caps, b/c I didn't change that code from the original vb code...

Ok, fixed all errors besides the one I initially posted about.

" document type does not allow element "td" here."

That's what I'm getting. I have the <td> inside the <form> since thats the only way I've gotten it to show up how I want it. Is there any other way I can do this with validating my code?
