    I have a past client that wants a little help fixing their validation errors on the forum.
    They have about 150 errors on the forum home page, and 40 or so on their vbadvanced pages.
    Not sure on the forumdisplay or showthread pages, but those would need fixed as well.

    If you are interested, please pm me your email and I'll get you in contact with them

    thanks

    HTML errors? That probably means modifying the entire forums software ... lol

    Na they're pretty easy, just takes time.
    Vb has a styles section to edit the HTML

    This is vb 3 btw, to anyone interested

    Thx

    Perhaps changing the document type from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to HTML 4.01 Transitional or something can make it validate! ;)

    Many common XHTML validation errors come from missing close tags or missing quotes around attributes. All are allowed in HTML 4.01-T. ;)

    they have a lot of <td> <tr> errors and attributes not being listed correctly
    nothing hard, it just takes time to go through them
