I’d advise to use the w3c validator, analyse whatever error come out and decompose the output code to trace back the source of misvalidation.

It seems in your case this <code>name=“DeliverTo”><option selected=1></option></code> is the reason why you have two errors…

The way to go about this is dig into the plugin and try understand what caused it, then come back and report with solution…
If I have a couple of minutes, I’ll look into it….

obviously <code><option selected=1></option></code> is not valid, it’s an empty option. im not using zem_contact on my sites, but i guess by adding something like <code>list=“please select: ,Dave… ,… “</code> should do the trick.

davidm,
Thanks. I am well aware of w3c, I am just unable to decipher all of the warnings, and had hoped someone could point out some blaring errors in the way I have things layed out in order to give me a head start. For instance, I believe I have all of my tags closed, but it still has validation errors that “could” include unclosed tags. I couldn’t quite figure this out.

I did change the <div> which was inside the <p> tag. I made the <a> into class “right” instead of making the whole thing div class=“right”. Now the services page validates.

I have taught myself all of this, so I don’t have a real comprehensive knowledge. Hence, why the w3c validation errors can sometimes be confusing.

THanks,

Matthew

and maharis,
I have tried that and it does not work. Its got to be something symantic, but I can’t figure it out.

Matthew,

As far as I know selected=1 is not possible, you can only have selected="selected". I think I know what you have to change in the plugin code (just not exactly how); find this line (in function zem_contact_select):

$out .= '<option selected=1>'.$list[$i]."</option>\n";<br />
and change it into:<br />
$out .= '<option selected="selected">'.$list[$i]."</option>\n"; (Note: I am not sure about the quotes, always having trouble with those… so if anyone knows better, please speak up!)<br />
The ‘for’ attribute has to match the id of the form element, so what’s missing is id=“DeliverTo” in the select tag. That line is about six lines down in the code:<br />
'<select name="'.$name.'">'.$out.'</select>'; should be (something like) '<select id="'.$name.'" name="'.$name.'">'.$out.'</select>';<br />
Please be careful making those changes, I’d rather have a real coder confirm (or condemn if necessary) my guesses…
