Hi im trying to validate my cubecart site. Its almost done however iv ran into a few erros which im not sure how to solve. I also wanted to know if validation has any impact on SEO?

By visitng http://validator.w3.org/ i have checked my sites pages. Im haaving issues with the following pages... would anyone be able to help me solve these issues? im trying to perform good web design practice.

These are the pages im having errors with:

Special Items page: http://www.inter-gems.co.uk/shop.php/special-items/c_5.html

About Us page: http://www.inter-gems.co.uk/shop.php/about-us/i_1.html

Product in basket: https://inter-gems.co.uk/cart.php?act=cart&...e855aebc568ece2

Problem with product pages in general - full of errors??? something to do with the text formatting in admin??? example of a product page can be seen here: http://www.inter-gems.co.uk/shop.php/rings...r-ring/p_4.html

Any help would be much appriciated,

Cheers, Ben.

Well, great news on many of your errors, there is a fix posted in skins forum :blink:

For instance, the first page you listed throws these errors:

Result: 4 errors / 1 warning

line 50 column 3 - Error: end tag for element "a" which is not open

line 129 column 5 - Warning: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "nb"

line 129 column 5 - Error: general entity "nb" not defined and no default entity

line 129 column 7 - Error: reference to entity "nb" for which no system identifier could be generated

line 129 column 4 - Info: entity was defined here

line 197 column 7 - Error: reference to entity "nb" for which no system identifier could be generated

line 129 column 4 - Info: entity was defined here

The last three errors are all cuased by one item it is this: &nb ...

This is due to the code for non-breaking space being truncated in the product description. Here is some information about fixing that issue: http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....showtopic=27903

The other errors are easily dealt with. I haven't had the time to post your answers, in fact I do this type work daily but hardly have time to do it for pay either, LOL

I hope this fix helps, if you can apply it, should clear up many of these errors. :cry:
