After joining here and reading a ton of posts I have ripped my very first website apart and started the CSS and HTML from scratch.

 

I just put both in the W3C Validator and pleased that they only came back with 4 errors each.

 

Most of the corrections were mistakes like missing semi colons and alt tags for images etc, but a couple I need help with.

 

On the CSS it queries this:

img, div, li, ul Property behavior doesn't exist : url(iepngfix.htc)

 

I assume that's because that code is a hack/fix. Is there anyway to make it validate? It's my only error!!

 

 

On the HTML it queries:

 

No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.

and

 

No Character encoding declared at document level

 

If anyone wants to actually look at either page the addresses are www.edenstreet.net/test.css and www.edenstreet.net/test.htm

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi

 

Put this in the head section of your html

 

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

 

As for the css, you can remove the part giving you problems are their is nothing in there

Thanks for your reply Pat.

 

I put the code in the Head section but it returned two errors.

Sorry my mistake, didnt look at the doctype, use this

 

 

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" >

No Problem

For the png fix, i'd just move it into the actual document itself so you can use a conditional on it

 

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
 <style type="text/css">
  img, div, li, ul { behavior: url(iepngfix.htc) }
 </style>
<![endif]-->

 

So it only targets IE6 and lower, the problematic browsers.
