W3C Valid?

Hi guys,

Site

A bit stuck on getting site W3C valid and done most but shop is throwing up a couple of curly ones I am not sure how to sold

Here is the validator results

What seems to be happening is the category 'table' is creating a width attribute that is creating a conflict.

Any clues on these? I would REALLY love to have my site W3C valid.

Hi,

Some points could be fix using view override but I saw points which are not linked to HikaShop (like the meta "title" and some "alt" for images in your footer).
The width of the table is set in the view too, so you can change it from width="..." to style="width:...." in order to be compatible with the HTML5 standard.

Regards,

Hi Jerome, appreciate your reply...

which view do I need to edit?

I dont seem to be able to find width=

ok I have it down to seven (from 42)

Main culprits remain:

6 errors
Element p not allowed as child of element span in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

<!-- EO CATEGORY DESC -->

Contexts in which element p may be used:
Where flow content is expected.
Content model for element span:
Phrasing content.

I have unpublished the categories (so they dont display) and these error dissapear.

Any clues?

Hi,

The W3C Html Validator does not display right line number.
The error is on the line just before.

Regards,

Sorry, not sure what you mean...

But, as mentioned, if I unpublished shop categories, it validates.

Hi,

You can edit the category listing view.
Just have to check which category listing your website use and edit the corresponding view in order to make it valid for the W3C (on HTML5).

I think it will be "category | listing_img_desc".

Hi Jerome, yes already edited that and created the required CSS entry to compensate.

No idea were the so-called <p> conflict is coming from.

As mentioned.. If I unpublished all categories and the issue disappears.

Turn them on and it wont validate.

ok... done a lot of digging on this.

It is an issue with the img_desc file.

If I revert to Image & Title, those errors dissapear.

The error is that there is a <p> element with the span class. The <P> element comes from the description of the category.

So if I remove the span class, the errors go.

So Becomes: does that create any problems that you can think of?

Hi,

It could create a CSS problem if you have some rules on the class "hikashop_category_desc".
I think you can replace the "span" by another type of block, like a "div" (which could have "p" elements into).
Regards,

That did it! (And much better than my hack )

Thanks again Jerome, greatly appreciated.

Great service as always!
