God morning I have been working on a website this morning using the markup validation service by upload from my computer. There seems to be some kind of issue, as pages that were marked as valid strict html come back with the following error messages. Then I get them to revalidate by restarting firefox and work on new pages and then the same thing happens with old and new pages not validating. It is checking my page as uft-f , 4.01 Transitional through the detect automatically settings and I am using strict html as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd "> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> I really appreciate the service you offer at this site and have found it helpful when building websites. I hope this information is useful if there is a problem on the site. thanks for your help No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8. None of the standards sources gave any information on the character encoding labeling for this document. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. As a fallback solution, the "UTF-8" encoding was used to read the content and attempt to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents. Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers on how to fix this problem with your document. Unable to Determine Parse Mode! The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions). For this document, the information available was not sufficient to determine the parsing mode unambiguously, because: the MIME Media Type (text/html) can be used for XML or SGML document types No known Document Type could be detected No XML declaration (e.g <?xml version="1.0"?>) could be found at the beginning of the document. No XML namespace (e.g <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">) could be found at the root of the document. As a default, the validator is falling back to SGML mode. No Character encoding declared at document level No character encoding information was found within the document, either in an HTML meta element or an XML declaration. It is often recommended to declare the character encoding in the document itself, especially if there is a chance that the document will be read from or saved to disk, CD, etc. See this tutorial on character encoding for techniques and explanations. ↑ Top Validation Output: 1 Error Line 1, Column 1: end of document in prolog ✉ This error may appear when the validator receives an empty document. Please make sure that the document you are uploading is not empty, and report any discrepancy. James Tiebout tebodesigns@mac.com TEBO Designs, Inc. 4916 Kelvin Drive Houston, TX 77005 713.520.9602
