When I view the generated source and copy/paste that into direct input, I pass validation. I am pretty sure it should pass because it says I require tags that *are* there and <div> <ul> <li>something</li> <li>something</li> <li>something</li> </ul> <div> that is valid xhtml strict, isn't it? 16318 1 ot 2007-08-29 07:57:03 +0000 I get the exact same errors when validating by URI and when copy-pasting the source of the page from a browser to the validator. You may want to use the "show source" option of the validator. The validator is not inventing error for the sake of itÂ… 16319 2 rhlowe 2007-08-29 16:11:30 +0000 There shouldn't be any errors when validating the URI, the errors it throw back are not there. Look at the source code on the actual site versus the errors the validator sends back, the errors aren't there 16321 3 ot 2007-08-29 17:48:46 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > There shouldn't be any errors when validating the URI, the errors it throw back > are not there. Look at the source code on the actual site versus the errors the > validator sends back, the errors aren't there First error: the html element is missing the xmlns attribute. Let's look at the code for your site... it starts with <html> => in XHTML you have to have the xmlns=..." there. The first error is definitely there Second error: document type does not allow element "ul" here I look where the validator is pointing <span class="terms"><ul class="links inline"> => you can't have a block-level <ul> in an inline-level <span> The second error is definitely there, too. etc. I'm not sure what your browser is seeing, maybe you are seeing different content and markup because you are logged in or have a different version in cache, but I can assure you that the errors are there, whether seen from a browser or the validator.
