help with sidebar code please

Oh yea, the part of the above code that is in the bold print is the part that I edited.

Hi
Could you post the whole sidebar code please? It looks like your sidebar code goes something like this:

<ul>
<li>
Some stuff
</li>
<li>
Some more stuff
</li>
</ul>

It ought to look more like this:

Some stuff
<ul>
<li>
Links etc
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Header</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Links etc
</li>
</ul>

You’ll find it validates then. With the centre tag you need to place that in the css. So if you don’t want to centre (sorry I have to spell it like that I’m English) the whole sidebar use a class to centre that element. Something like this:

.centrethis {
text-align: center;
}

It gets a bit more complex with centring other elements. Post the code I’m sure we can help.

Sorry about the previous post, I didn’t realize it recognized my code above as html, so I will try again to repost my sidebar code…But since last night I’ve managed to get rid of most of the errors I was getting when I tried to validate my code, but I still have 2 errors that I don’t know how to fix. Here is my sidebar code, any help is appeciated.

<div id="sidebar">
<ul>

  <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

    <li>
      <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
    </li>

    <?php /* Menu for subpages of current page (copied from K2 theme) */
    global $notfound;
    if (is_page() and ($notfound != '1')) {
        $current_page = $post->ID;
        while($current_page) {
            $page_query = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '$current_page'");
            $current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
        }
        $parent_id = $page_query->ID;
        $parent_title = $page_query->post_title;

        // if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_status != 'attachment'")) {
        if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_type != 'attachment'")) {
    ?>

    <li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php echo $parent_title; ?> <?php _e('Subpages'); ?></h2>
      <ul class="list-page">
        <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>

    <?php } } ?>

    <li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><img src="images/cat.gif" alt="categories"/></h2>
      <ul class="list-cat">
        <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php get_calendar(); ?></h2>
       <ul class="list-calender">
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><img src="images/archive.gif" alt="archive"/></h2>
      <ul class="list-archives">
        <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2>
      <ul class="list-blogroll">
        <?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '<br />', FALSE, 'id', FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>

  <?php endif; ?>

 </ul>
</div>

<!–/sidebar –>

Don’t post long code here: nobody can (and will) read it.
Use https://wordpress.pastebin.ca

as for “center” as an error: in XHTML has been deprecated, and most WP themes are XHTML.

Thank you for posting that link. (the only reason I posted my entire code was because the person who was trying to help last night asked me to). I removed my calender code which was this….

<li>
      <h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php get_calendar(); ?></h2>
       <ul class="list-calender">
      </ul>

and now my site validates again. Could you please tell me the correct calender code? Also should I start a new post since all those codes are in the way?
