Module 6 Improvements

Results from Adobe BrowserLab

• The Web Hosting page worked successfully in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.
• The DHTML page worked successfully in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.
• The Database-Driven Sites page worked successfully in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. In Internet Explorer, there was a problem with the bullets for the unordered list in the "Examples of Database-Driven Sites" section. I later learned that this was because I omitted the end tag for "a" when I was listing websites that I wanted to link.
• The CMS page worked successfully in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.

Results using W3C HTML Validator

On the pages for Web Hosting and CMS, I received the same error each time:

• Line 2, Column 1: Missing xmlns attribute for element html. The value should be: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml

On the page for DHTML, I received the following errors:

• Line 2, Column 1: Missing xmlns attribute for element html. The value should be: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
• Line 94, Column 22: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data

On the page for Database-Driven Sites, I received six errors:

• Line 2, Column 1: Missing xmlns attribute for element html. The value should be: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
• Line 102, Column 90: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
• Line 103, Column 112: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
• Line 104, Column 91: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
• Line 105, Column 80: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
• Line 106, Column 83: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

I corrected these errors by adding the missing xmlns attribute to each page, and by adding the end tag for "a" when it was omitted. I also replaced the "&" with "and".

Results using W3C CSS Validator

On the pages for Web Hosting, DHTML, Database-Driven Sites, and CMS, I received the following errors:

• Web Hosting: Line 118 a.button Value Error : font-weight regular is not a font-weight value : regular
• DHTML: Line 120 a.button Value Error : font-weight regular is not a font-weight value : regular
• Database-Driven Sites: Line 117 a.button Value Error : font-weight regular is not a font-weight value : regular
• CMS: Line 117 a.button Value Error : font-weight regular is not a font-weight value : regular

I replaced "regular" with "normal" in order to correct the error.

Results from WAVE

WAVE detected no accessibility errors for all of my website's pages.

However, I decided to make the following changes to each and every page, given the suggestions from WAVE:

• I changed the title tag of the image I placed in the header so that it makes more sense to the user. I replaced "Module 5 Logo" with "English 375 + 507: Web Authoring and Design."
• I made the headings larger in order to conform with a logical order. I did this because I received an alert for incorrectly ordered headings. Instead of beginning with an h1 tag, I began with an h2 tag, so I changed the tag sizes so they would be one size larger.
• On the left-hand navigation bar, I added title tags to the menu options.
