[Theme: TwentyTwelve (Child)] Need help with markup errors

  • The footer child theme has a set of badges which, according to the W3C Markup Validation Service, have errors inthe markup. But I can’t figure out what these errors are and how to fix them. It just outputs ” Attribute alt not allowed on element a at this point.”.

    Also, I can’t figure where the unclosed DIV originates from from, as in what element on my sitte it refers to. The parent footer already had a closing tag for the site’s page element, so what it up with that?

    Any help, please?

    do you get the same div error with all plugins deactivated?

    Yes, all errors persist.

    To simplify the issue, are there any errors with the links of the following code?

    <table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="footer-table-credit"><a href="https://www.ads-software.com" title="Semantic Personal Publishing Platform">Proudly powered by WordPress</a><!-- .site-info --></td>
      <td class="footer-table-badges"><a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/cresun" title="cresun's discography at Discogs" alt="discogs_badge" target="_blank" class="footer-img-badges discogs"></a></td>
      <td class="footer-table-badges"><a href="https://www.last.fm/music/cresun" title="Profile for cresun on last.fm" alt="lastfm_badge" target="_blank" class="footer-img-badges lastfm"></a></td>
      <td class="footer-table-badges"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/cresun" title="Listen to my music on SoundCloud" alt="soundcloud_badge" target="_blank" class="footer-img-badges soundcloud"></a></td>
      <td class="footer-table-badges"><a href="https://cresun.is-great.net/chocolate" alt="paypal_badge" title="Feeling generous?" class="footer-img-badges paypal"></a></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

    This is the table that perfectly displays the badges in the footer of my website, which are loaded from a sprite and styled through CSS. According to the markup validation, there is something wrong with the links here. I just can’t figure what. So, eh.

    alt="discogs_badge" is according to the validator not allowed in html link tags.

    remove those alt sections from your ‘perfectly display[ing]’ code
