Markup Validation Service
Check the markup (HTML, XHTML, …) of Web documents
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.
No Character Encoding Found!
Falling back to
UTF-8.
None of the standards sources gave any information on the character encoding
labeling for this document. Without encoding information
it is impossible to reliably validate the document. As a fallback
solution, the "UTF-8"
encoding was used to read the content and attempt to perform the validation,
but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents.
Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers on how to fix this problem with your document.
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:
text/html) can be used for XML or SGML document types<?xml version="1.0"?>) could be found at the beginning of the document.<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.
No DOCTYPE found, and unknown root element. Aborting validation.
The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax, or that your document is not using a DOCTYPE Declaration.
Without a DOCTYPE Declaration it is not possible to check the validity of your document. Since the document does not start with the root <html> element, automatic fallback to an HTML document type was not performed, and most of the validation process was aborted: only basic markup syntax was checked.
Learn how to add a doctype to your document
from our FAQ, or use the validator's
Document Type option to validate your document against a specific Document Type.
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.

Column 1:
no document type declaration; will parse without validation
<TITLE>Hacked By AnonCoders</TITLE>The document type could not be determined, because the document had no correct DOCTYPE declaration. The document does not look like HTML, therefore automatic fallback could not be performed, and the document was only checked against basic markup syntax.

Column 7:
document type does not allow element "TITLE" here
<title>Hacked By AnonCoders</title>The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).

Column 7:
end tag for element "HEAD" which is not open
</head>The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

For the current document, the validator interprets strings like
<FOO /> according to legacy rules that
break the expectations of most authors and thus cause confusing warnings
and error messages from the validator. This interpretation is triggered
by HTML 4 documents or other SGML-based HTML documents. To avoid the
messages, simply remove the "/" character in such contexts. NB: If you
expect <FOO /> to be interpreted as an
XML-compatible "self-closing" tag, then you need to use XHTML or HTML5.
This warning and related errors may also be caused by an unquoted
attribute value containing one or more "/". Example:
<a href=http://w3c.org>W3C</a>.
In such cases, the solution is to put quotation marks around the value.
