W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium and since 1994, the W3C has provided the guidepnes by which, websites and webpages should be structured and created. Here are the pnks to vapdate your web pages:
Vapdate HTML/XHTML File against W3C Standard
Vapdate CSS File against W3C Standard
While verification, you may get errors along with appropriate reasons. All the vapdations will be done using XHTML DTD, which is a refined version of HTML.
Rules for W3C Comppance
There following rules, are to be following while developing a webpage.
Use XHTML declaration statements to start every XHTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
Every tag must be closed.
The head and body tags are now mandatory.
Empty tags get a terminating slash. An empty tag is a tag that doesn t require an end tag. Examples include <br> and <hr>.
<BR> is now <br />. <HR> is now <hr />. <IMG SRC="--"> is now <img src="--" />
All tags must be lower-case. This does not apply to attributes, only tags. For example, both of these formats are acceptable under the XHTML DTD:
<FONT color="#ffffcc"> is invapd <font color="#ffffcc"> is vapd <font color="#FFFFCC"> is also vapd
All the attribute values should be put with in double quotes.
Tags may not be nested.
<b><i>Text</b></i> This is invapd <b><i>Text</i></b> This is vapd
The <pre> tag should not contain: img, object, big, small, sub, or sup.
One <form> tag cannot be inside another <form> tag.
If your code contains a &, it must be written as &.
Any use of CSS should use all lower-case letter.
