I'm trying to make my site completely valid XHTMl and CSS. But I've run into some problems I can't seem to understand. This is what my XHTML validation check is telling me:

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

Line 57, column 33: end tag for "span" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</script>

You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Line 55, column 41: start tag was here

the new Helix. 

Line 58, column 111: end tag for element "span" which is not open

...">Comments</a> ]</noscript>

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.

If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

Line 65, column 6: end tag for "body" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</html>

Line 15, column 0: start tag was here

<body>

What that mean? And my CSS validator is saying something about Generic Font Families but I've used correct CSS??

I understand the thing about the color I'll fix that up but what's with this Generic Family?? I've got like 80 similar errors? What gives??

That would qualify as "generic," yes.

Most of these things are fairly self-explanatoyr, and the rest can ususally be figured out by a quick search for the term(s) that the validator spits out.

Missing closing tag -

1) make sure you close all your open tags, and make sure all your nesting is done properly (ie, if you have a span, p, a, like so: <.p>blah blah....<a>blah , make sure you close them in the same order </a>.

2) generic font-family - seems to be covered above.

3) color ff60 is not a valid color - nope, it's not. you're missing 2 numbers, or you've got an extra. is this a typo, or do you need clarification on this?

the standard hex code for color consists of 3 sets of values

r, g, and b, of course.

Each value is traditionally two digits.

These digits start at the numbers 0-9, then the letters A-F. 0 being darkest and F being lightest.

Each set of values can contain any combination of these numbers/letters.

In CSS, you can abbreviate a hex code down to only 3 digits, if each set of values uses identical double digits.

In other words, you can abbreviate #99CC00 down to #9C0, or #000000 down to #000.

However, you cannot mix and match. So if you have #99CC03, since the last set of values has two different numbers, you cannot abbreviate the code (you cannot, for example, code it #9C03 - you need all six or only 3).

Make sense?

I abbreviate whenever possible. can't see any negative side to it, and it saves on typing and on bytes.

seems like a good thing to me...

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I HAVE VALID CSS!!!! I'm getting this written on validation it good right?

But my XHTML is still giving one error to which I am puzzled

quote:
Line 59, column 52: document type does not allow element "noscript" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag

... <noscript>[ <a href="comment.php?comment_id=la

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "", or "").

Some clarification please...
