Week 01 - In Class Exercise

Status:
Creation of blog
HTML htmlRecipe.html (Write | Validate | Upload)
XHTML xhtmlRecipe.html (Write | Validate | Upload)

First attempt to run through W3C Validator produced nice results in the form of "no doctype found", "no character encoding", and "inability to determine parse mode" errors.

How much more 'doctype' does it get than this:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


When I pasted the code directly into the markup validation, it's all green. For some reason the validator refused to read the doctype for my uploaded HTML and XHTML files. Will run a second check tomorrow in class.

Edit: 3-12-2008
Validator also accepts the URL pages as valid, when I passed the validator the internet address.
