W3C Validation for WhalerCentral
Site NewsI spent the most part of January and the first part of February 2009 going through all of our pages on WhalerCentral and fixing minor errors so our pages would validate using the W3C validator.

As it stands now, 99% of our pages validate. To verify this if you are interested, click on the W3C validate button on the bottom left sidebar on any page you are viewing. You will note that most pages will show 11 errors. This is due to one of our panels that is using the "marquee" script. So, you will see 11 errors showing on all or our pages. This is again due to that one panel. At this time we are looking for a replacement for the "marquee" script so those errors will be eliminated.
So, the page itself validates without any errors so to speak, it's just the same panel throwing those same 11 errors.

Most of our pages here on WhalerCentral use .xhtml while some pages however still use the standard .html
Some of the pages will never validate due to various reasons. The forum section where members can put in outside links with strange characters etc., may not validate. Also the members personal pages where members can put in some types of text and links may not validate. This is just the way it is for those pages.

What does this do for you?
The bottom line is, the less errors a page has the faster that page will load for you.

Here are 2 examples or our pages.
This one will show the 11 errors I mentioned above.
WhalerCentral.com
When at the above link, click on the W3C validation button on the bottom left sidebar.

Here is a page that will validate as the "marquee" panel is turned off for this page.

Again, when on this page, click on the W3C validation button on the bottom left sidebar.

So our pages do validate with the exception of the one panel that uses the "marquee" script.

If anyone has any questions about validation and/or finds any errors they wish to report, please let us know.
Reminder, Forum pages and Personal pages may not validate due to the reasons mentioned above.
