Guest Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Everyone Hoping someone can pls explain to me..... When validating a website,,,,, using cubecart..... Do you check for validation on every single html page ie. section of your store? if so, is there a quicker way of doing this then having to go to every page and validating? Or Does the validation count for all pages? I guess that the same question would be for the css. Much appreciated. Thank-you.

Homar Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 You should validate: - The Home Page - A Product Page - A Category Page - A Site Document Page - The Registration Page - The User Login Page - The Cart Page - CSS validation for any page. Then, so long as you use valid code in the product descriptions, you're site should fully validate. Note that if you use the standard 'short product description' feature for products listed in viewCat.tpl, then special characters (e.g. &) may get truncated. This will cause any pages listing this product's short description to fail validation. There is a solution to this problem here: http://forums.cubecart.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry129096 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. Thank-you. Kindest Regards, Antz ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Antz, Why don't you validate every page at once? http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ Type in the root URL of CC (eg. www.amazegifts.com if the root is in public_html) and check the "Validate entire site" checkbox.

Guest adeelasim Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 can anyone explain what does this validation error mean: document type does not allow element "html" here <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> what needs to be fixed here with respect to validation.
