Intro to Web Authoring

The validator said that I had an unnecessary < /p > tag in scope but no < p > element seen. Since it was before an unordered list, I removed the < /p> tag. The validator also said that I had a “head start tag seen but an element of the same type is already open,” which was a result of having the < head > tag after the metadata. I put the < head > under the doctype and language elements.

The W3C CSS Validator said that I had a “parse error” with the tags for unordered lists that I had taken out of the HTML file but forgot to remove from the CSS file. I removed the unnecessary tags and the W3C Validator said that my CSS met the standards for CSS Level 3.

The Wave Accessibility Evaluation Tool came up with no errors. It noted that I had headers and unordered lists on every page, and I believe that they are all necessary for page readability. It also noted that my pictures had no “alt” tags, so I gave them appropriate “alt” tags that are relevant to the individual pictures. The page is still readable and navigable without CSS styling. The evaluation also stated that I had 12 contrast errors per page, but user testing proved this to not be an issue. It said that my creative commons picture and link were redundant, so I removed the extra link left the picture as the link.
