[clug] Server-side scripting

[George at Clug]

Brian,


It sure is hot tonight in Tuggeranong.



Were you able to work out what were the HTML errors?


Here is my take on what actually caused the HTML errors to be
reported. Can anyone confirm my reasoning, and tell me where my
reasoning is incorrect, please?



=================================================================
Using Firefox to inspect the HTML of
"https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/linux"
 
There is a single "

tag. According to  https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_ul.asp the "

" should be directly followed by a "
	* ", which it is not, nor is the a "

" ending tag.

          		Your email address:

          
    
=================================================================
I do not know why "{Line 159, Column 31: document type does not allow
element "TABLE" here...", but I suspect that tables are not allowed
within "" tags. I assume the errors on lines 162, 162, and 163 are
also due to being within the "" tags?

Is anyone able confirm why this error message is given? I have not
tried to recreate the error, which is one way to check.

{I would strongly suggest that you validate your HTML against its DTD.
The Web page may look okay but so many developers don't validate and
so the Webb pages don't present properly on obscure web browsers and
applications that interpret the HTML for other output, such as,
text-to-speach for the blind. Very, very annoying to hear or
see  when
the HTML is invalid.}

{Also see https://validator.w3.org/}

So I used that site to check CLUG's pages.

This was flawless.

https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/linux
But this gave two errors and 4 warnings!

{ Line 77, Column 50: start tag for "LI" omitted, but its declaration 
does not permit this

     }

{Line 159, Column 31: document type does not allow element "TABLE"
here; 
missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag



}
