July 31, 201412 yr I used serif webplus (2007-ish) OK I've cleaned up the HTML But now I have 15 errors (down from 30) Validation Output: 15 Errors Line 94, Column 14: end tag for "map" which is not finished </map></p><img src="_wp_generated/wp140a2763.png" width="359" height="7… ✉ Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p> Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists require appropriate list items (<ul> and <ol> require <li>; <dl> requires <dt> and <dd>), and so on. Line 95, Column 74: there is no attribute "onload" …" id="art_1" name="art_1" title="" alt="wp140a2763.png" onload="OnLoadPngFix()" ✉ You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

August 1, 201412 yr Author At the top of your document, change the <!doctype> to <!doctype html> as it looks as though you're validating against XHTML strict. Thank you James Edited August 1, 201412 yr by philip1989
August 2, 201412 yr You appear to have run the code generated by the Serif Web Plus program through HTML Tidy. Really not something I would recommend particularly as you have used Web Plus 10 a seriously outdated version of the software. You have for some reason removed the doctype declaration which means IE will probably go into quirks mode as will many other browsers. Much of the code generated is proprietary and will fail validation. If you wish to use a WYSIWYG editor I would advise updating to a newer version of Web Plus. You have version 10, the current version is X7 (version 15), which is available for just under £90. The previous version X6 is about £65 and X5 can be had for £20 or less. As WYSIWYG editors go Web Plus is one of the better ones. ALso use the Serif forum. There will be other Serif users there who will be able to help you better with regard to using the program. https://community.serif.com/ However I would advise you that i the long term it would be better to learn to code the site yourself or possibly use a CMS like Joomla or Wordpress.
