Re: HTML VALIDATOR?

1st -- <B> v <STRONG> although both have the same function I checked in the
HTML 4.01 specifications and they use B, however I know that MS has used the
<strong> </strong> format.

2nd -- ALT I always include this so that non-graphics users can see it ..
Many users turn off graphics. That is why the use of Height and Width
variables is so important. Without them your page will loose its appearance
and functionality

If you like an image to a site and the people can not see what the image is
they will not know why they want to choose that link, but if you put the ALT
variable this now lets them know what it is for

3rd -- Do you put <font color="000000"> if so this is incorrect  You need to
put <font color="#000000"> or <font color="00,00,00"> The first is
Hexidecimal the second is RGB.

Subject: HTML VALIDATOR?


| I just ran one of my sites thru one of those "valdation" utioities, and
have
| several questions on some of the "faults" found
|
| 1st ...  What is the difference between <B> and <strong>  .. refering to
| BOLD text?
|  ("<B> is physical font markup ... use logical  (such as strong"))
|
| 2nd ... What (or why)is the "necessity" for this ... "img does not have
ALT
| text defined ... setting WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes on IMG tag can
improve
| rendering performance" ??  .. This was noted on most of my imported
graphics
| .... such as divider bars ...
|
| 3rd ... " illegal value for COLOR attribute of FONT (000000)"  ....
???????
| .. What other code is there for black .... or any other color?
|
| The validator used was "WEBLINT GATEWAY"
|
| ????????????/
|
| Thanks
