Hi there
 
I'm having some trouble understanding these errors on my index page. I've checked examples that you offer but they seem to be the same. I haven't validated the entire site yet just the index.
 
 
Best regards to you all

  • Error Line 2, Column 6: "html" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

  • Error Line 2, Column 13: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

    Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".

  • Error Line 2, Column 13: element "DOCTYPE" undefined
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

    You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

    • incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
    • by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
    • by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).
  • Error Line 6, Column 16: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter
           xml:lang"en" lang="en">

    Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".

  • Error Line 6, Column 17: character data is not allowed here
           xml:lang"en" lang="en">

    You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include:

    • putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>), or
    • forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or
    • using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as <meta ... />) in HTML 4.01 or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML.
  • Error Line 158, Column 8: end tag for "DOCTYPE" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
    </ht…

    You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

  • Info Line 1, Column 121: start tag was here
    …/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><DOCTYPE html
  • Error Line 158, Column 8: no document element
    </ht…

  • Error Line 2, Column 5: XML Parsing Error: Specification mandate value for attribute html
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

  • Error Line 2, Column 5: XML Parsing Error: attributes construct error
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

  • Error Line 2, Column 5: XML Parsing Error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag DOCTYPE line 1
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

  • Error Line 2, Column 5: XML Parsing Error: Extra content at the end of the document
         PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
