Sidebar Fix

You’ve got code errors and missing tags: [Invalid]Markup Validation of studioreflections.com ausrmusings – W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.

?? I’m overwhelmed. Thank-you for the validation. It’s a wonder anything works at all after looking at this list. It’s a bit, well okay, a lot of bit over my head. I’d like to ask for help, but that seems like an awful lot to ask for. Help? ??

…down to 34 errors, which were Widget errors for Feedblitz.

The most serious errors that impact display are the missing ending tags for <div> and <li> elements. Right now, your content is skewed way right in Safari.

Below is what is in my footer.php file, which several of the validation errors have a problem with. Dreamweaver can’t find anything wrong with the code, neither can I. There are also several errors that point to the html in posts that I’ve made, which have nothing to do with my sidebar problem.

<div id="footer"> Powered by <a href="https://www.ads-software.com/" title="WordPress">WordPress</a> | Content &copy; <a accesskey="1" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
  <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
  </a>
  <?php the_time('Y') ?>
  </a></div>

Look at your page code: you’re missing </body> and </html> tags in the footer. Read the validation report and edit your theme files with a plain text editor. Trusting Dreamweaver is your problem; it generates garbage code.

Here is a link to an image of how my blog looks in Internet Explorer, and in red, is what I need to fix.

Look at your page code: you’re missing </body> and </html> tags in the footer. Read the validation report and edit your theme files with a plain text editor.

My footer.php file doesn’t have beginning body or html codes. Are you referring maybe to the header.php file?

I put a download link on top of the previous image for an RAR of my files if you would like to look at them.

My point is you’re *missing* the required *ending* </body> and </html> tags in the footer.

So add </body></html> after the last </div> in footer.php. That’s a start on fixing some of the problems.

Okay, I added those two tags to the footer, and uploaded the file.
