Something Blue - template

[unseen]

i finished my template today, and wanted to share it with you all. i ran it through the validator and there are still 14 errors, but i'm not really sure how to fix them. some of them are from the link to my archive page, something about the use of the ampersand i think. but anyway, if i can get around to fixing those issues i might release it. i'm posting it here first for critique - anything you think i should change that might make it look nicer, i'll see if i can do it :] it's compatible with both firefox and IE, only a couple really slight differences but nothing to take away from the design. it's on my site right now, so check it out!

I abosolutely love your site -- can you please send me the template for your site joe@doublevisn.com

The first thing you need to do is change the <br> tags to <br />, that will help alot.

I'll keep looking...

[PIXELGRAIN]

Your other problem is that you need to change your urls to encoded ampersands....

for example, try replacing "index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1" with "index.php?x=browse&amp;pagenum=1"

ahhh i see. thanks guys!

doublevisn, i'll send it to you as soon as i work out the <br /> tags and ampersands. after that it should be okay. thanks for your interest!

EDIT: i fixed all the <br> tags, but i still have these errors:

1. Error Line 57 column 7: element "CENTER" undefined.

i don't know where this error is. i checked and all my <center> tags are closed...

2. Warning Line 59 column 276: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "pagenum".
3. Error Line 59 column 276: general entity "pagenum" not defined and no default entity.
4. Warning Line 59 column 283: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter.
5. Warning Line 59 column 283: reference to external entity in attribute value.
6. Error Line 59 column 283: reference to entity "pagenum" for which no system identifier could be generated.
7. Info Line 59 column 275: entity was defined here.

these errors all have to do with this tag: <LINK_TO_PAGED_ARCHIVE> which i can't (or don't know how to?) fix.

all the rest of the errors have to do with my code in my image info section. they aren't part of the template. as far as i know, the only error i can fix is that <center> tag, so as soon as i find that i'll get it. : D

the <center> error is because <center> is not xhtml compliant - switch it with <div align="center">

the pagenum errors are to do with an extra &amp in the url i think - check the urls - see if you can see what's wrong and if you can't then copy and paste one here.

okay, down to two errors. they both have to do with the browse archives url, which is this:

http://www.unseen.zeeder.com/pixelpo...owse&pagenum=1

but this isn't a url in my code. the link to my archives page is the <LINK_TO_PAGED_ARCHIVE> tag, which is here in my code:

<span style="float:right"><a href="index.php?showimage=<IMAGE_RANDOM>">random photo</a> | <LINK_TO_PAGED_ARCHIVE> | <a href="index.php?x=about">info + links</a> | <a href="admin/index.php">admin</a></span>

thank you guys so much for your help! i really appreciate it!

try just replacing the tag with <a href="index.php?x=browse&pagenum=">Archive</a>

[doublevsn]

ooooh, almost validated, I'm excited ... stillfx@gmail.com

my site is too bland, this template will kick it up a notch!!!

you're also missing quotations around links such as <a href=http://www.sh1ft.org/26things/>
