html problem with definition and ordered list

Post icon  Posted 24 November 2008 - 04:33 AM

I've been strugling with this problem like a day or so... now I give up. It just doesn't go true the validation proces. Something is wrong and I don't know how to fix this/writte this in sequence.

Here's my code:

<dl> 
	<dt>Slovenska portala:
	</dt> 
		<dd> 
		<ul> 
			<li>
			<a href="http://www.slo-foto.net" target="_blank">Slo Foto</a>
			</li> 
		</ul> 
		</dd> 
	
		<dd> 
		<ul> 
			<li>
			<a href="http://www.e-fotografija.si" target="_blank">E-fotografija</a>
			</li> 
		</ul> 
		</dd> 
</dl>
	Tuje spletne strani:
	<ol> 
		<li>
			<a href="http://www.dpreview.com" target="_blank">dPreview</a>  
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="http://www.gsmarena.com" target="_blank">GsmArena</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="http://www.phonearena.com" target="_blank">PhoneArena</a>
		</li> 
	</ol>


The first unordered list is in my opinion good, cause it's not "ordered". :D Now, I want to put the ordered list also in definition list. But I get errors, while validating.

Here is the code , where in second part (ordered list), I get errors.
<dl> 
	<dt>Slovenska portala:
	</dt> 
		<dd> 
		<ul> 
			<li>
			<a href="http://www.slo-foto.net" target="_blank">Slo Foto</a>
			</li> 
		</ul> 
		</dd> 
	
		<dd> 
		<ul> 
			<li>
			<a href="http://www.e-fotografija.si" target="_blank">E-fotografija</a>
			</li> 
		</ul> 
		</dd> 
	<dt>Tuje spletne strani:
	</dt>
		<ol> 
		<li>
			<dd>
			<a href="http://www.dpreview.com" target="_blank">dPreview</a>  
			</dd>	
		</li>
		<li>
			<dd>
			<a href="http://www.gsmarena.com" target="_blank">GsmArena</a>
			</dd>
		</li>
		<li>
			<dd>
			<a href="http://www.phonearena.com" target="_blank">PhoneArena</a>
			</dd>
		</li> 
	</ol>
</dl>

Here you can take a look, what validation tool Tidy recomends and what's the result of his "clean" code, which passes validation. Link

First of all, the code DOES pass validation. You have no errors, only a warning.

You should be able to get rid of this by opening the file in Notepad++, check Format --> UTF without BOM and re-saving the file.

Hope this helps!

So, first of all you have opened some tags and you didn't close them. Afterward, you've used at the first unordered list more <dd> tags and your result might not had been the one you expected.

Ok, I reedited your page, and now it's valid because I've verified it . Make the difference between yours and mine, I won't start now to explain the details:
