Notes and Potential Issues

The following notes and warnings highlight missing or conflicting information which caused the validator to perform some guesswork prior to validation, or other things affecting the output below. If the guess or fallback is incorrect, it could make validation results entirely incoherent. It is highly recommended to check these potential issues, and, if necessary, fix them and re-validate the document.

  1. Warning Unable to Determine Parse Mode!

    The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions). For this document, the information available was not sufficient to determine the parsing mode unambiguously, because:

    • the MIME Media Type (text/html) can be used for XML or SGML document types
    • the Document Type (-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transi</a>tional//EN) is not in the validator's catalog
    • No XML declaration (e.g <?xml version="1.0"?>) could be found at the beginning of the document.
    • No XML namespace (e.g <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">) could be found at the root of the document.

    As a default, the validator is falling back to SGML mode.

  2. Warning Mismatch between Public and System identifiers in the DOCTYPE declaration

    This document uses an inconsistent DOCTYPE declaration. The System Identifier http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd declares the HTML 4.01 Transitional document type, but the associated Public Identifier -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transi</a>tional//EN does not match this document type.

    The recommended Public Identifier for http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd is -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN.

    The safest way to use a correct DOCTYPE declaration is to copy and paste one from the recommended list and avoid editing that part of your markup by hand.

  3. Info No Character encoding declared at document level

    No character encoding information was found within the document, either in an HTML meta element or an XML declaration. It is often recommended to declare the character encoding in the document itself, especially if there is a chance that the document will be read from or saved to disk, CD, etc.

    See this tutorial on character encoding for techniques and explanations.
