Description Keith Austin 2008-06-11 06:11:35 UTC
A while ago I validated the markup on the URL above, and in doing so I was given the code to add the Validated Site Icon/Button.  I recently re-validated the site and it now tells me that it does not pass.  It points mainly to the HTML and CSS buttons which I copied and pasted the code onto the site.

It appears that some standards may have changed, so can you suggest to me the correct coding for the images.

It also picks a fault with the closing html tag "</html>" with a highlight on the closing > .  can you suggest why this is please, as I was on the understanding that this was standard tag closing markup.  

Thankyou, kind regards,

Keith

You used the code for HTML, while you site uses XHTML.

No.

See the code at e.g
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org

These are cascading errors. Fix the img issues and they should go away.
