Validation Results W3C QA Markup Validation Service v0.6.7 List of 7 items Home alt+h About... News Docs Help & FAQ Feedback Link Checker list end Jump To: List of 1 items Results list end Table with 2 columns and 4 rows File: C:\Tafe\Certificate Three SoftWare Applications\Cert Three\WebSite Development\Create web pages with multimedia\Assessment\Task 2\WebPages\Index.html Encoding: windows-1252 Doctype: HTML 4.01 Transitional Errors: 1 table end No DOCTYPE Found! Falling Back to HTML 4.01 Transitional A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and without one it is impossible to reliably validate this document. I am falling back to "HTML 4.01 Transitional" and will attempt to validate the document anyway, but this is very likely to produce spurious error messages for most non-trivial documents. So what should I do? Tell me more... DOCTYPE Fallback in effect! The DOCTYPE Declaration in your document was not recognized. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax. Validation has been performed using a default "fallback" Document Type Definition that closely resembles HTML 4.01 Transitional, but the document will not be Valid until you have corrected the problem with the DOCTYPE Declaration. This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional! Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. List of 1 items 1. Line 1, column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>" <html> The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid. ✉ list end Valid XHTML 1.0!
