using INDENT not valid for vbadvanced

[nymyth]

So i am using the GARS module on my site and im having problems with validating the css.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ne=1&verbose=1

When I create a new article, im using the indent & quote tags. Everything works fine visually however when i look at the validity of the css i notice that there is a <blockquote open tag but no ending tag. How can I go about fixing this?

Cheers

hmmm...heres one link (this one has errors inside the text):

heres the homepage link (this one has similar errors but more specifically the blockquote issue):

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...doctype=Inline

THe first one only produces errors because of the non SGML codes in the text.

However It looks like the problem is that you have in the second one - is that GARS is truncating the text, thus you have a tag that was opened, but since the close is later on down the post, it gets left out. Have you thought about using the synopsis for this purpose?

[nymyth]

well I didnt like the way the synopsis shows, and I've now taken out the indent from the articles area.

How do I go about fixing the SGML thing?

[The Geek]

Got me. Are you cut/copy and pasting?

[nymyth]

yes i am....we receive the articles and then i copy and paste them from wordpad...

Sounds like it is pasting in invalid characters. I usually paste into notepad before I paste into the editor for this reason
