nelp me get rid of the errors on my site pls

**xtecltd** · 02-11-2006 08:00 AM

i have quiet alot of errors on my site but thay are all the same when i run
http://validator.w3.org the only 2 thing it says is

required attribute "ALT" not specified (on every image )
and
there is no attribute "LEFTMARGIN".( in this line <body leftmargin="0" )

iv tryed to use html kit to clean up the code but every time i do
when i try to use http://validator.w3.org it says

Result: Failed validation,
Encoding: us-ascii

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 125, 144, 185, 260, 270 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as us-ascii (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

iv not got a clue what this means
can someone help please
thank you for your time

The alt attribute is required for all images. It's value is the image description.

There is no need for any attributes in the <body> tag. Use css:

Code:

body {margin:0;}

Being unable to validate has a number of causes:
1. no/incorrect DTD
2. incorrect charset
3. an editor adding incompatible characters
The top of your document should look something like this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>My document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

If the document still does not validate, then remove the characters listed by the validator.

add: alt="" to ever <img tag on your page, prefferably with an alternative description

add: <style type="text/css">

</style> or to your css

im not sure a there is a program. when you make your page make sure you make it to the validation standard so when your done you dont have to go back and fix it.

html Tidy will do that.
A useful extension to FF is html validator(based on Tidy) which shows errors and warnings and can produce a corrected document at the click of a button.
