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//Frameset DTD HTML 401 Transitional//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.

Validation Output: 8 Errors

  1. Error Line 1, Column 70: invalid formal public identifier "-//W3C//Frameset DTD HTML 401 Transitional//EN": invalid public text class 
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//Frameset DTD HTML 401 Transitional//EN">

  2. Error Line 12, Column 16: there is no attribute "ROWS" 
    <frameset rows="100%" Cols="50%, 50%">

    You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

    This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

    How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

  3. Error Line 12, Column 28: there is no attribute "COLS"

  4. Error Line 12, Column 38: element "FRAMESET" undefined 
    <frameset rows="100%" Cols="50%, 50%">

    ✉

    You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

    • incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
    • by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
    • by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

  6. Error Line 14, Column 21: element "FRAME" undefined 
    <frame src="B0.html">

    ✉

    You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

    • incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
    • by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
    • by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

  8. Error Line 18, Column 7: end tag for "HTML" which is not finished 
    </html>

    ✉

    Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

    Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists require appropriate list items (<ul> and <ol> require <li>; <dl> requires <dt> and <dd>), and so on.
