I even thank Michael for pointing out the errors since most of them was due to a program error (i.e. not incompetence, which I'm sure was his angle on the validation errors - I just *can't* get my code to validate, I don't know how :)

Välkommen Sandman!

Sandman
Tack :)

DFS
FYI: Today www.sandman.net throws 46 errors and 33 warnings at validator.w3.org

Only 43 as far as I can make out, but again, the code is dynamically generated :)

1 The encoding utf8 is not the preferred name of the character encoding in use. The preferred name is utf-8. (Charmod C024)

Aha, html validation, thought you meant css validation. :) <snip list> Yeah, like I've said many times, validation is of little concern to me. Some of those things are easy to fix, some require a bit of a code hunt. Maybe I'll look it over some day :)

4 of them are: "Quote ' in attribute name"

8 of them are: "Bad value _new for attribute target on element"

10 of them are: "The charset attribute on the link element is obsolete"

31 of them are: "The border attribute is obsolete"

Geez, Sandman... that stuff is gonna bring your site down any minute now!

;)

I wonder why Snit isn't whining about the validation errors of these sites:

<https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F> <https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2F>

And why does he (hypocritically) run from the errors on his own business site?

We know why.
